Abstract
This paper aims to clarify the location and community activity of the church in Tokyo 23 wards. The findings are mainly as follows: 1) The churches are classified into 4 types; `A) the churches located in a residential area', 'B) the churches located in a business district whose rate of neighbor Christians is low', 'C) the traditional churches whose rate of neighbor Christians is high', and 'D) the new churches whose rate of neighbor Christians is high'. 2) The community activities are classified into 3 types; 'providing', 'supporting', and 'participating'. 3) Each type of the churches has a difference of the activity. For example, type A churches often support someone or something that is regarded as a problem of the area. 4) One of the issues about the community activity is indifference to the problems of the area because of the lower rate of neighbor Christians.
