John A. MacLean Special Contents

The pastor of the Ginter Park Presbyterian Church of Richmond, Virginia, USA. In January 1949, he wrote an article for his church members, titled "A Suggestion-As foolish as the teaching of Jesus of Nazareth" in which he expressed sorrow over Hiroshima and Nagasaki and suggested that Christians make gifts for rebuilding, as a tangible expression of the desire for reconciliation. This article became an ignition to the widespread fund raising campaign throughout the North America for establishing a Christian university in Japan.
