Did you know #PrincetonU has musical notes 🎶 still being sung in #Japan? @KwanseiGakuin’s school song “Old Kwansei” in 1900 very closely resembles @Princeton’s “Old Nassau” written by Harlan Page Peck in 1862.

Finally grabbed a copy of the newest 『宗教年鑑』to update my absurd priest-related statistics spreadsheets, so, hey, a tiny thread about the current state of the Jinja Honchō-affiliated Shinto priesthood. (1/14)

『日本人無宗教説』、タイトル的に日本人は無宗教だと論じる本だと勘違いしている方ももしかしたらいらっしゃるかもしれませんが、そうではなく、そもそもそういった説がこれまでどのようなバリエーションをもって展開してきたのか、を考えた本です。

Delighted to see @tobenedi at #AAS2023! His award-winning #openaccess book SPIRITUAL ENDS explores religious identity in Japan.

[Timothy Benedict @tobenedi]

@tommazanec hope to see your clean shaven face at Hynes soon

[Timothy Benedict @tobenedi]

Leaving Narita in a few minutes for #AAS2023. Looking forward to being part of this roundtable about new books on death. Wish I could take this lovely spring Japan weather with me too…

[Timothy Benedict @tobenedi]

Very thankful for the opportunity to talk with Nathan
Hopson on his pod about my new book. @NewBooksNetwork
Listen to find out how it all started and what spirituality has in common with Big America burgers at Japanese McDonalds (anyone remember those?) https://t.co/bjOdo1uxYv

"Not every end is the goal. The end of a melody is not its goal; and yet: as long as the melody has not reached its end, it also hasn't reached its goal. A parable." (Nietzche, The Wanderer and His Shadow, aphorism 204)

So excited to have Tim Benedict's book in my hands! @tobenedi

It's such a humane account of how spiritual care is being enacted for hospice patients in Japan, and what this tells us about religion and medicine in a multireligious, secular society. @AARWeb @ausreligion

[Timothy Benedict @tobenedi]

@iamalda @AARWeb @ausreligion Thank you Alda!

[Timothy Benedict @tobenedi]

@Matthew55Mc Congrats! Now you can sit on more committees!!!
