It seems like they might believe in universal Salvation, with the lack of hostility towards other religions that tends to define American churches.

So does anyone here know anything about it?

There’s an interesting article at Makuya: A Japanese-Christian Church. Here’s some interesting quotes from the article:

Makuya is definitely Protestant Christianity in that it is devoted to the Holy Trinity, grace by God, and the Bible as the Word of God. The Bible version typically used (in English) is the new King James Version, or other similar translations. All pretty typical stuff. However, when I went there I also noticed some differences. First, the main symbol of Makuya is a Jewish menorah, not the cross.

When the Makuya people prayed, it reminded me of charismatic, Pentecostal style prayer: very emotional and passionate.

Anyhow, the other thing that was different in the Makuya tradition is the emphasis on meditation.

They mentioned the commonality between Makuya-style meditation and Zen, but I admit I didn’t quite see it.

Still, one other notable thing about Makuya is their tolerance toward other religions.

Well, they seem to be happy in this YouTube video:
