The lecture, “Questioning the Church and its Sanctity: Criticism of the Church from a Lesbian Perspective,” was held at ICU on February 2nd, 2007. The lecturer, Rev. Yuri Horie, has protested from within the church against the claims of the so-called Ito remark and the Okuma document (1998) that it is inappropriate for a homosexual to become a pastor of the United Church of Christ in Japan.

From June 22 to 23, CGS held a workshop to round up our three previous international workshops on “Human Security and Gender in Asia,” the first of which had been held in the fall of 2004. The main purpose of this workshop was to summarize our results so far, as well as to explore the future directions of CGS-based gender research and educational activities. Eight participants from overseas and three from Japan were invited.
