TRUE PARENTS' LEADERSHIP TODAY

Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon was born 23 years after her husband, and he has pre-deceased her. In the early 1990s he declared her the co-founder of the movement. True Parents shared leadership continues with True Father in Heaven and True Mother on earth. It’s what we call the “age of the wife.”

BEGOTTEN OF GOD

Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, our True Mother, has declared she is God’s only begotten Daughter. What does this mean? Is this new, or is it something Rev. Moon taught? What does it mean for all women, and for men too? Is she the only one, or can each of us be “only begotten”? This series of twelve articles explores these questions and finds some surprising answers—including about our eternal life, not just in Heaven.
