Eraño de Guzman Manalo (January 2, 1925 - August 31, 2009〔(Iglesia ni Cristo Head Dies ) - from the Philippine Daily Inquirer〕), also known as Ka Erdy,〔"ka" as used by INC members is a short form of the word kapatid((英語:brethren)). "ka" is also sometimes used as a shortened form of kasama((英語:comrade)).〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tagalog - Dictionary: ka )〕 was the second Executive Minister of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), serving from 1963 until 2009. He took over the administration of the church after the death of his father, Felix Manalo, in 1963. He was instrumental in the propagation and expansion of the church internationally. He previously held office as the General Treasurer of the church, and as a District Minister of Manila.〔Villanueva, p. 6〕 ==Biography== Eraño Manalo was born at Riverside Drive, San Juan, Rizal (now part of Metro Manila) on January 2, 1925. He was the fifth child of Felix Y. Manalo and Honorata de Guzman.〔 His name came from a reversal and elision of the term "New Era," which his father used to describe what he felt was "a new Christian era" as the Iglesia ni Cristo was established. His older siblings were Sisters Pilar and Avelina, and Brothers Dominador and Salvador. His youngest sibling is Brother Bienvenido. Eraño received his elementary education at St. John's Academy in San Juan, Metro Manila, starting at the age of six. Manalo initially took up law school, but left his studies to become a minister of the INC. He started attending the church's ministerial classes at the age of 16 and was ordained as a minister on 10 May 1947, at the age of 22. He held various positions in the church including being the general treasurer of the INC and circulation manager of the Pasugo magazine (now known as ''God's Message''). During this time, he wrote a 64-page booklet entitled ''Christ-God: Investigated-False''. On January 17, 1955, Eraño Manalo married Cristina Villanueva with whom he has six children (Eduardo Manalo, Lolita Manalo-Hemedez, Erlinda Manalo-Alcantara, Liberty Manalo-Albert, Felix Nathaniel Manalo II and Marco Eraño Manalo). On 18 February 1953, ten years before his father's death, Eraño Manalo was elected successor to his father as Executive Minister. Following Eraño's death, his son Eduardo then assumed the role of INC's Executive Minister.〔(No shifts seen when Ka Erdie's son takes over INC ) -- ABSCBNNews.com〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eraño Manalo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
