What would you preach to your congregation the week before your members were shipped off to an internment camp simply because they were of Japanese heritage? Pastor Tom Sugimura wrote about these pastors and their messages in an article in Christianity Today called “How Japanese American Pastors Prepared their Flocks for Internment.

Tom Sugimura is also a SOLA Editorial Board member, so we invited him to talk to us about the research he did for his article and to give us more insight into the Japanese people who lived through the camps, including his own family. SOLA Editorial Curator Aaron Lee interviewed him, and we invite you to listen to their conversation here.
