Serving as chief officiant on behalf of the Shinbashira, who is recuperating, Successor-Designate Daisuke Nakayama said in the Service prayer: \u201cAll of us Service performers as well as church head ministers and other Yoboku will sweep away the dusts of the mind by making layer upon layer of efforts to purify our minds in our daily lives. Each one of us is determined to do our utmost to advance the work of single-hearted salvation to realize the world so desired by You.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
