Summary
Much has been accomplished to repair the breach between Americans and Japanese since World War II. Margery Mayer and her Kwassui students did their part in postwar Nagasaki. They had many discussions about Christianity and democracy as well as the growing nationalism and militarism of the United States. This is the story of their life together—the Japanese students and the American missionary, the impact they had on each other, and the bonding that took place as they worked toward a new world of peace.
About the Author
Sixty-one years ago, three years after graduating from college and the end of World War II, Margery L. Mayer sailed with eight other young Americans on a freighter from San Francisco to Yokohama, Japan. They were part of a group of sixty young people recruited by the Board of Missions of the Methodist church into a program called the Fellowship of Reconstruction. The purpose, and Margery’s mission, was to rebuild a new world view of peaceful living together by witnessing to the students about Christianity. In 1972, after twenty-four years of full-time missionary work in Japan, she took up life again in the United States.
