TRUE PARENTS' HISTORY AND MINISTRY
ARTICLES SORTED BY SERIES
THE PATH TO FOUNDATION DAY
In publications surrounding the 2017 Foundation Day, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, our True Mother, gave a powerful written testimony to God’s providence through True Parents. This six article series outlines her theological and historical testimony, with the last three focusing on her husband’s final twelve-year course.
THE WAY TO BLESSING
How did Rev. and Mrs. Moon, our True Parents, establish the authority to liberate the world from sin through blessed marriage? Did they just dream up the idea? No. It came from the heart of God. This series of twenty-nine articles outlines their path to bring God’s heart into our lives, and explains the meaning of the five steps to receive the Holy Marriage Blessing.
Eternal life comes to Earth by the multiplication of new spirits. By husband-wife union, “the Word of God is incarnated.” How does this incarnation take place? In 1996, True Father taught on C-Span: “The root of the providence of salvation is the re-creation of the seed of the original child to complete the ideal of […]
TRUE PARENTS' GRACE
How do True Parents grant us freedom from sin through marriage? Through their oneness in marriage with God and each other, we receive their liberation and complete release from sin. On our part, we need to practice the same faith and the same love. This series of eight articles pays particular attention to the preparation of the bride, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon.
HYO JEONG AND CHEONGPYEONG
Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, our True Mother, guides Unification activities from “HJ (Hyo Jeong) Cheonwon,” a sprawling campus in Cheongpyeong, South Korea, that includes schools, training centers, a prayer hall, a hospital, spa, museum, apartment buildings and senior center, shops and restaurants and, above it all, a Palace. Where did this come from? And, most importantly, what is the meaning of Hyo Jeong, the principle behind it all? This series of twelve articles explains.
