President's Corner
Dear friend,
As our summer is drawing to a close, we gratefully look back at our fruitful summer activities, all held in spite of Covid-19! Our nationwide chapters' efforts inspired and brought much hope to many. There were the National Prayer Calls for the Healing of the Nation; the many Peace Road events for the sake of repentance, reconciliation and healing; and other smaller initiatives to serve our communities. Thanks to all for your heartfelt investments!! May even greater fruit come of these many seeds that were planted.
There is no stopping now! In the spirit of our co-founder, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, the Legacy of Hope continues, as she has initiated preparations for several landmark events of hope coming up this fall:
1) The international commemoration festival to mark the eighth anniversary of the passing of global peace leader Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon (WFWP's other co-founder), celebrating and honoring his great contributions to peace based on his unconditional love and investment for God and humanity - Sept. 4 (read his prayer "The Crown of Glory," written when he was 16)
2) The Universal Peace Federation will hold a three-day virtual International Leadership Conference, titled “Opportunity and Hope at a Time of Global Crisis: Interdependence, Mutual Prosperity and Universal Values” - Sept. 11-13 (stay tuned for links)
3) The Million-Person Rally of Hope #2 - Sept. 26 (stay tuned for links)
4) The Celebration of Marriage and Family - Oct. 10
These events are meant to inspire hope in all sectors of society, in all corners of the world!
While we see all around us many threats to hope, there is also great potential for a wide range of opportunities to emerge, new ways of envisioning our common life together as one global family, with innovative ideas and policies that enhance and accelerate human development.
We hope you will tune in and seek to elevate our human condition far beyond where we are today.
Happy Fall 2020!
Angelika
