Hiroshima Remembered

...

Please read this post that I wrote a year ago, if only to fill you in on some details you may not know, on this 64th anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima.

My opinions have not changed in the year that has passed. In fact, I tip my hat to the great god Synchronicity (it was not planned this way) that I am currently reading Silence, by Shusaku Endo, about a Portuguese priest who will probably meet martyrdom in feudal Japan. I am three-quarters done with the book; right now the brave but crumbling man of Christ is being tried, and threatened with some undescribed torture, by a very crafty samurai ... in the city of Nagasaki.
