PRESIDENT’S CORNER: HAPPY 27TH ANNIVERSARY TO WFWP!
Dear friends,
It is time to celebrate!
Not only did WFWP USA just complete a very successful launch of the Global Women's Peace Network on April 6 in Los Angeles, we heard our co-founder, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, deliver a powerful address on the same day (see related articles below). Then, only a few days later, on April 10, we also commemorated the 27th anniversary of this very unique women's organization.
What is unique about the Women's Federation for World Peace?
In my book, it is the organization's founding spirit, which is "Living for the Sake of Others" and "Living by the Logic of Love." Translating that into reality, thousands of WFWP women over the past 27 years have practiced such a lifestyle, exemplified most eminently by Dr. Moon herself. They sacrificed and reached out with the heart of a mother, loved the unlovable, served, educated, stood up for principles of goodness, and gave of themselves for the sake of a culture of peace.
For many years, the fruit of their labor was seemingly invisible, as if we were putting pebble upon pebble on top of each other, starting from the bottom of the sea. HOWEVER, over the last few years, we have come to see the impact the organization has made from the local to the global level.
We thank all those who came before us, those who are with us now, and those who will be joining in this growing global women's movement under the leadership of Dr. Moon, our beloved co-founder, who is standing at the forefront of exemplifying a feminine type of leadership truly based on the principle of Living by the Logic of Love.
Hold on to your seats as more changes and turning points will be upon us in 2019, 2020, and beyond. The ride has just begun!
Sincerely,
Angelika
In honor of the 27th anniversary, we’d like to share the following excerpts from Mother Moon’s speech on March 6, 2019 at the inauguration of the new WFWP International president:
The Women’s Federation for World Peace, upon its inauguration, declared the advent of the global era of women in front of women representatives from 70 nations and 150,000 Korean women in Jamsil Olympic Stadium on April 10, 1992. Founded with the mission and role to become an organization pivotal in conducting a women-led peace movement in accordance with the Divine Will, WFWP, [nearly] 30 years later, is still actively conducting peace activities and taking the lead in realizing a permanent world of peace with its chapters in 160 nations.
Women, together with men in this 21st century, must become leaders that take charge of one wheel supporting the locomotive of a world of peace. The role of women has become more important at the center of creating a century of culture through love, peace and a culture of heart instead of a century of force and technology. I sincerely hope that all of you follow the path of a true mother, the path of a true wife, the path of a true daughter, and the path of a true woman leader in building a unified world overflowing with true freedom, peace and happiness. I also hope that WFWP takes the lead in this work.
