PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, December 20, 1979
Page 11
DOOR TO JAPAN OPENS WIDER
Prior to Mr. Herbert Armstrong's arrival in Japan en route to China, Mr.
Rader was invited to speak before the prestigious government-sponsored
Japan Institute of International Affairs, an organization similar to the
Brooking Institute in Washington D.C.
Present was an extremely presti
gious guest list including presidents and chairmen of the boards of most
of the major corporations in Japan--over 200 of them.
The speech was very well received and, although the program was scheduled
to run two hours, many stayed an additional hour with considerable inter
est in the question-and-answer session that followed.
The speech was covered by the large-circulation Japanese-language news
papers and the entire text was printed on the back page of the Japan Times,
which is an
English-language newspaper.
As a result of this extensive
and very favorable coverage, Mr. Rader was invited to appear on national
television.
He did so and has now been invited back by several other
television stations.
Although the Work has already been reaching top leaders in industry, aca
demic echelons and the political community in Japan for some years, Mr.
Rader st�ted in his December 13 employee forum
that he considers these
developments a new breakthrough for the Work.
It is his hope that this
will be a bridge for Mr. Armstrong to cross in the near future to begin
to attract the attention of the man on the street in Japan.
"This will be
an opportunity now--using television and not having to pay for it--" said
Mr. Rader, "to begin to get Mr. Armstrong's message across.
And I am
going to work hard at that over the next year."
Here now is the complete text of his November 19 speech as it appeared
in the Japan Times, December 4:
