DESCRIPTION:poster\nAbout 600 years before the Roman Catholic Church began
  missionary work in China\, Nestorian missionaries had already arrived at 
 Chang'an\, the Chinese capital at that time. Nestorians left behind cultur
 al goods like books\, especially translations of the Bible\, and instituti
 ons such as hospitals along their way from Mesopotamia\, the birthplace of
  Nestorian Christianity\, to China. Even today one can find traces of a Ne
 storian heritage in the culture\, religions\, ethics\, and science of the 
 countries along the Silk Road.\nThe lecture will address the question if t
 he Nestorian Christianity reached Japan. This question has been asked by m
 any historians since the beginning of the 20th century\, and yet even toda
 y there is no clear answer. It is generally accepted that Nestorian Christ
 ianity did not come to Japan\, because no records or archeological traces 
 of any Nestorian missions to Japan exist.
