Guest's Profile:
Carol Sack, together with her husband James, has been a missionary to Japan of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) since 1982. James and Carol served parishes in Saga and Oomachi, Kyushu, before moving to the campus of the Japan Lutheran College and Theological Seminary, Mitaka City, in 1992, where James serves as Director of the Personal Growth and Counseling Center.

Carol has worked in the areas of children's and youth evangelism and has a special love for social ministry, having developed ministries for the mentally challenged, homeless, and seriously or terminally ill. In 2000 - 2002 she received education and certification in the field of Music Thanatology through an intensive program called the Chalice of Repose Project in Missoula, Montana. Since returning to Japan she has been volunteering at KIBOU NO IE (Hope House) Hospice in Sanya, Taito Ward. In response to an invitation by the Japan Lutheran Evangelical Association, Carol developed an 18-month full-time training course called Lyra Precaria,
INORI NO TATEGOTO, which is dedicated to training persons to offer prayerful presence in voice and harp at the bedside. The first class of seven students will graduate in September of 2007.

Carol has presented this work in lecture and music in many settings- social welfare, medical, musical, theological, academic. She believes strongly in the unique power of music to touch the human soul with the love of God.
