The Japan Society for Buddhist-Christian Studies was founded in
February 1982 through the stimulus of the 1980 Hawaii Buddhist-Christian
Conference and with Professor Doi Masatoshi as the principal initiator.
Its aim from the start, as the Japan Chapter of the broader "East-West
Religions Project" has been to promote East-West interreligious dialogue
at the doctrinal level (philosophical and theological). It collaborates
closely with the Society for Buddhist-Christian
Studies based in the United States.
The Society is presently headed by YAGI Seiichi
and has some 50 members. Annual meetings are held each year in July in
Kyoto. Observers are welcome.
