PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN PARISHES
IN WOODLAWN, MD, AND TOKYO, JAPAN.

Dear Ms. Tillman,

The Episcopal Church of Christ the King in Woodlawn, MD, enjoys a continuing sister relationship with Tokyo All Saints Church in Japan.

The relationship began with a formal Companion Diocese Relationship in the 1980s between the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland and the Anglican Episcopal Diocese of Tokyo, Nippon Sei Ko Kai (NSKK), Tokyo, Japan. A few years ago, the formal relationship was ended at the Diocesan level, but the two sister parishes had formed such a strong bond that both congregations voted to continue it on an informal basis.

The purpose of the arrangement is mutual support and ministry. The congregations support each other with prayer, information, and friendship, enhanced with exchange visits and correspondence. Christ the King members furnish all the resources and costs needed for the Maryland part of the activity.

Nearly every year, on an alternating basis, exchange visits are made between the two parishes. Two years ago, we were honored to have visitors from Tokyo All Saints, including their rector, the Rev. Ms. Mary Shigeko Yamano. In October, 2006, we expect to send four Christ the King members to help celebrate the 125th Anniversary of Tokyo All Saints.
