In a notice published on 28 October, the Conference said this year\u2019s theme is \u201cthey shall not learn war anymore\u201d (Isaiah 2:4).<\/p>\n<p>Bible Week was proposed in May 1976 and confirmed later that year by the bishops of Japan, as a nationwide effort to help the faithful become more familiar with Scripture and understand it more accurately. From 1977 it has been kept each year beginning on the third Sunday of November. After the former Biblical Commission was dissolved in 1998, the Standing Episcopal Commission continued the observance, including the leaflet <em>Becoming Familiar with the Bible<\/em> (\u300e\u8056\u66f8\u306b\u89aa\u3057\u3080\u300f) and an accompanying poster. These are distributed free of charge to parishes, religious houses, Catholic schools and other institutions, and may also be downloaded from the Conference website.<\/p>\n<p>The week opens on the Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time, which the universal Church also marks as World Day of the Poor, and it closes on the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbcj.catholic.jp\/2026\/10\/28\/40970\/\">Catholic Bishops\u2019 Conference of Japan: Bible Week 15\u201322 November 2026 (28 October 2026)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tokyo.catholic.jp\/info\/schedule\/51973\/\">Archdiocese of Tokyo: 2026 diocesan calendar (lists Bible Week, World Day of the Poor and World Youth Day)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u8981\u7d04 \u65e5\u672c\u30ab\u30c8\u30ea\u30c3\u30af\u53f8\u6559\u5354\u8b70\u4f1a\u306f\u30012026\u5e7411\u670815\u65e5\u304b\u308922\u65e5\u307e\u3067\uff08\u65e5\u672c\u6a19\u6e96\u6642\uff09\u8056\u66f8\u9031\u9593\u3092\u5b9f\u65bd\u3057\u307e\u3059\u300210\u670828\u65e5\u306e\u767a\u8868\u306b\u3088\u308b\u3068\u3001\u4eca\u5e74\u306e\u30c6\u30fc\u30de\u306f\u300c\u3082\u306f\u3084\u6226\u3046\u3053\u3068\u3092\u5b66\u3070\u306a\u3044\u300d\uff08\u30a4\u30b6\u30e42\u30fb4\uff09\u3067\u3059\u3002\u521d\u65e5\u306f\u5e74\u9593\u7b2c33\u4e3b\u65e5\u3067\u3001\u6559\u4f1a\u5168\u4f53\u306e\u300c\u8ca7\u3057\u3044\u4eba\u306e\u305f\u3081\u306e\u4e16\u754c\u7948\u9858\u65e5\u300d\u3067\u3082\u3042\u308a\u3001\u6700\u7d42\u65e5\u306f\u738b\u3067\u3042\u308b\u30ad\u30ea\u30b9\u30c8\u306e\u796d\u65e5\u3067\u3059\u3002 The Catholic Bishops\u2019 Conference of Japan will observe Bible Week from Sunday, 15 November to Sunday, 22 November 2026 (Japan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","nfd_image_url":"","nfd_onboarding_generated":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[157],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-trending-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7577"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7577\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7578,"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7577\/revisions\/7578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
