About the Author
Before going to Japan, Floyd was the minister on the Esterhazy Pastoral Parish in Saskatchewan. After returning to Canada in 1981, he spent six years on the Program Staff of the Prairie Christian Training Centre, an adult education facility of the United Church in Fort Qu’Appelle, Saskatchewan. Floyd’s dissatisfaction with church-centred Christianity led him to work, both in Japan and Canada, through innovative ways of living out the mandate of Jesus in society. Sadly, after a long battle with Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma, Floyd Howlett died at home on June 28, 2003.
