What Never Dies: The lives of Midori and Takashi Nagai
About this event
In the political and cultural turmoil of early 20th century Japan, Dr Takashi Nagai's intellectual and spiritual journey is guided by his restless heart and lively reason. Through the encounter with Midori Moriyama and her discreet witness of authentic faith, Takashi will find a home in the Catholic community of Nagasaki, forged by centuries of persecutions, and the grace to embrace sacrifice in the midst of the atomic wasteland.
The evening will begin at 7 PM in Arrupe Hall (Farm Street Church) with a talk by Maria and Martin Gross, members of the "Friends of Takashi and Midori Nagai" committee - founded in 2021 to promote their Cause of Beatification. After the talk, a painting by artist Ruben Ferreira and the panels of an exhibition on the lives of the two Servants of God will be on display.
The exhibition will be available for viewing for the whole month of September.
