主の平和
震災から６ヶ月が過ぎました。まだまだ、様々な困難なうちにある方々への支援の必要性を強く感じます。「東日本大震災のための祈り」を続け、「いつも共におられる慰めの主のみ姿を見出すことが出来ますように」との願いの実現へと歩みたいものです。
被災者支援の一環として、管区では、「いっしょに歩こう！プロジェクト~日本聖公会東日本大震災被災者支援｣を立ち上げ、仙台に本部オフィスを構え、態勢を整えつつ、並行して支援活動を実施しております。
日本聖公会は、3月14日付で緊急募金のお願いを関係各位にいたしました。多くの方々、教会、学校等からの応答をいただき、８月末現在で国内募金が84,865,657円、海外からは85,121,637円が、その他の収入として74,982円の合計170,062,276円が献げられました。
＜緊急支援募金の終了＞
緊急募金は８月末を持って終了いたしました。献げられた緊急支援募金は以下のように活用させていただきました。
� “鏈匐飢顱�施設修復のための緊急支援として
�◆〇抉臺�資等の緊急支援として
�� 緊急支援活動を支えるための活動諸費として
�ぁ〇抉腓里燭瓩忙藩僂垢觀�物の修復・設置費用として
�ァ 屬い辰靴腓吠發海Α�プロジェクト」の活動費用として
現在総額で101,878,877円が支援活動等のために支出されています。また、今後ボランティア
ベースの耐震補強工事、外国人支援プログラム、各ベースでの支援活動費、事務局経費、被災者
への見舞金、等々への支出が予定されています。
＜いっしょに歩こう募金を！＞
プロジェクトは当面2年間を期限としています。その後の活動については、2年後に検討されます。その時点では、東北教区や地域に、あらたな支援継続のためのプログラムを託して展開していくことも視野に入れております。また、教会建設などは地域全体の新しい復興計画の中で検討されることが望ましいと考えます。そうなりますと、プロジェクト活動期間内での完結は大変難しく、長期的な支援が求められます。
被災された方々への意味ある働きを継続していくため、引き続き｢いっしょに歩こう募金｣へご支援・ご協力をよろしくお願いいたします。

Merciful God, our Father in Heaven, we mourn the many people who have lost their lives in the Great Earthquake of Eastern Japan. Lord, in your great mercy, please let them rest in peace. We also pray that those who are grieving over the loss of loved ones may, by your strength, and with your loving solace be able to continue with their lives.
With your loving hand, please support and protect those who have been scattered by the disaster; those who have lost their homes; the sick and injured, and those in a position of weakness, especially the disabled, the elderly, and foreigners.
Comfort the unhappy, distressed, and lonely and those who at the point of losing hope, and give them the courage and desire to live. We ask that the shelter they require is given to those who have been obliged to evacuate and are forced to live in uncomfortable conditions. Please also guide and sustain the people working towards the restoration of the disaster area, especially those who are engaged in dangerous work,（ , , ）.
With one accord we pray that we can find you, the consoling Lord, who is always with us.
We offer this prayer in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.

The "Let Us Walk Together" Project
NSKK Support for Victims of the Eastern Japan Earthquake
Greeting from the Project Director
The peace of Christ be with you. May 19, 2011
The earthquake which struck the Tohoku and Kanto regions and most of eastern Japan on the afternoon of Friday, March 11, 2011 registered a 9.0 magnitude―the strongest earthquake in the country's history. The resulting enormous tsunami wrought unprecedented death and destruction up and down the coast, particularly in the prefectures of Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima, and Ibaraki. Current figures show roughly 30,000 people dead or missing. Many have lost family and friends, homes and savings. Many still have no choice but to stay in emergency shelters. Moreover, this cataclysmic event seriously damaged the Fukushima nuclear plant, resulting in radioactive pollution which has forced not a few people to leave the familiar surroundings of their homes.
Immediately after the earthquake, the NSKK created a disaster response headquarters and began a nationwide call for contributions to an emergency relief fund. Also, in cooperation with a similar response headquarters established by the Diocese of Tohoku, we began asking churches throughout Japan for emergency relief and needed supplies. Supplies were collected at two sites, the Chubu diocesan center in Nagoya and St. Andrew's Cathedral in the Diocese of Tokyo. With the help of various dioceses, collected supplies were periodically transported to the Tohoku headquarters. From there, they were distributed as needed to churches and lay members, related institutions, and emergency shelters in the disaster-stricken areas.
On April 1, an initial meeting of disaster response-related representatives from the various dioceses was held. It was determined that essential infrastructure and supplies were slowly being restored to disaster-stricken areas. Accordingly, we stopped collecting supplies on April 15, and sent final shipments to the Diocese of Tohoku after that.
At a second meeting on April 12, representatives agreed that it was time for support efforts to move to the next stage. Given the enormity of the destruction involved, the long period of time that will be needed to restore and rebuild the region, and the international responsibilities associated with the damaged nuclear plant, it was clear that the affected dioceses could not be asked to shoulder the support burden alone. While respecting the social context and history of the devasted regions, participants in the meeting recognized the need for an organized response from the NSKK as a whole. Representatives agreed on a direction going forward: To carry out support operations drawing on nationwide cooperation under a new support structure, which would include deploying staff and volunteers chosen from throughout Japan to Sendai and other disaster-stricken areas.
At its meeting on April 14, the Executive Council of the NSKK gave the go-ahead for this
direction, and a steering committee for NSKK-related support and rebuilding activities was subsequently formed. The first meeting of the steering committee was held in Sendai on April 29, in which various avenues for future activities and structures were discussed, including the opening of a Sendai office.
The steering committee issued the enclosed mission statement, calling for help in supporting the victims of the disaster not only from the various churches and related groups of the NSKK, but also in cooperation with other church demoninations and overseas churches as well. We humbly ask for your understanding and support, and especially your prayers for the success of this undertaking.
I would also like to share the news that the Sendai office was formally opened at a Holy Eucharist held at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 6, at Christ Church in Sendai.
In Christ,
The Most. Rev. Nathaniel Uematsu,
Primate of Nippon Sei Ko Kai (NSKK)
