The "Oomoto-kyo" religion (headquarters: Kameoka, Kyoto-fu, Japan) 
has an international bent.  They encourage knowledge of Esperanto for 
their people.  How successful this is, I don't know; whenever I have 
dealt with them, I have used Japanese or English.  They have 
published some books using Esperanto and have had some conferences 
where Esperanto was (apparently) heavily used.  

However, for their ritual, they use fairly old-fashioned Japanese.
The nuances (and sounds) are impossible to translate.  [exercise
for Japanese students: translate "kashikomi, kashikomi".]

(Except for the fact that I have found them very nice folks, and have 
taken a traditional arts course at their headquarters, I have no 
affiliation with Oomoto.)
