The Sapporo Independent Christian Church ( Japanese: 札幌独立キリスト教会, Hepburn: Sapporo Dokuritsu Kirisuto Kyōkai, or Sapporo Christian Church) is a church located in Sapporo, Japan. It was founded in 1881 by students of William S. Clark at the Sapporo Agricultural College. [1] [2] These students became known as the " Sapporo band" of Christians. [3] Although Clark had returned to the United States by the time the church was founded, he supported it financially and corresponded with its members through letters. [2] Members of the church include Uchimura Kanzō, who went on to found the non-church movement, and Nitobe Inazō, who became president of the Tokyo Women's Christian College, an under-secretary at the League of Nations, and was the author of Bushido: The Soul of Japan.
