Talk:Konkokyo

Any comments are welcome. Is this explanation clear enough?

 * My little sister lives in Southern Japan at present. I've recently been curious on what's deemed a new religion and why. It sounds like these Konkokyo people have been around since the mid-1800s. Is this "new" because Japan is a much older society than the US? Or is it "new" because it dates from after the opening to the West by Commodore Perry? Also I'm thinking of adding more links, to allow for non-Konkokyo sites, if that's acceptable.--T. Anthony 05:10, 5 September 2005 (UTC)


 * I moved this to Japanese religion. Japanese religions much newer than this one, and just as international, were at that category. Added to that Konkokyo looks to only be a couple decades younger than Tenriikyo which is not at "NRM", but is at "Japanese religion." Although if anyone feels it's better to have Konkokyo in both NRM and JR that's no problem. I've never even met a member.--T. Anthony 16:11, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

It does indeed probably make sense to put this as a Japanese Religion. I have seen a Konkokyo church during my last stay in Japan somewhere in Osaka. --Beoran 22:43, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

I have made some edits and language changes to better reflect the Konko tradition. But there is more work that needs to be done. I'll draw on some sources and update at some point. --ZippieLips 02:45, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Sect Shinto
Isn't Konkokyo a type of Kyoha (Sect) Shinto? Should this info be added, and/or should this article be under the Shinto category?

Yes, Konkokyo is a form of Shinto, but only technically so. The new article text about links to Shinto states it correctly. --Beoran 18:59, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

In the United States
I leave it to someone else to decide whether this belongs in the article, but I just took a decent photo of a Konko church in Seattle. - Jmabel &#124; Talk 04:50, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Tone Concerns
Hello, I have read through this article multiple times over the last couple years and I have concerns with it's editorial tone. Specifically under the beliefs section, it feels as if it is one continuous unbroken telling of positives attributes rather than an objective look at the religion. Would love to have some opinions on whether or not this is a shared perspective. Zadov5 (talk) 07:58, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
