Shinichiro Imaoka initially wanted to revive the Unitarian Church throughkiitsu kyokai but he realized that what is needed is a continuation of the church through a significant transformation. What are these transformations?
- Imaoka wanted kiitsu kyokai to go beyond Christianity (i.e. unitarian-universalism).
- He wanted it to be a jiyu shukyo.
- He wanted it to be non-sectarian.
- He wanted it to be transdenominational (i.e., not being overly attached to established religions).
- He wanted this free religion to be the base from which we accept established religions if we choose so.
- He wanted it to respond to the needs of those who have faith in it rather than be “ready-made.”
