100 year commemorative event

10/24/08 – This afternoon we are discussing how wep shall celebrate the 100 year anniversary of Nichiren Shu in North America. We are also begining the discussion on celebrating the 800th anniversary of the birth of Nichiren.

Rev. Cederman will chair a children’s education committee. We also discussed creating an English manga on Nichiren.

Also as part of a continuing discussion some ideas that have come up are things such as: being more visible in public as Nichiren priests, possibly having a book published and availabe at major bookstores, possibly having a nation wide Odaimoku shakyo campaign, public lectures.

We have formed various comittees in order to work on a number of these sugestions.
