Paul Chaffee Writes About Shinnyo-en

Esther Jantzen brought Paul’s recent article from The Interfaith Observer to my attention and suggested that I post it here, and I’m happy to do so.  The title of Paul’s article is: “Shinnyo-en Memorial Ceremony Draws 40,000”.  It is partly about this impressive Honolulu Memorial Day event and Shinnyo-en, the young Buddhist order that is behind the event.  But it is about a more important need in the Interfaith movement.
