September 17, 2012 Dear Blessed Families, Thank you for your love, prayers and devotion for True Parents, especially over these last several weeks leading up to the victorious Seonghwa of True Father. We have all been completely focused on attending True Parents at this unprecedented time. The events centering on True Father’s Seonghwa, culminating with True Mother’s historic speech on Monday, September 17, have been respectfully and successfully completed. Now, together with True Mother and World Chairman, Rev. Hyung Jin Moon, our worldwide church community has moved into a new era and we are preparing in earnest for Foundation Day. The HSA-UWC Board of Directors for the American church met in Cheongpyeong on Sunday, September 16, centered on board chairman, Rev. Hyung Jin Moon. The Board has accepted the resignation of Rev. In Jin Moon (President and CEO), who resigned because of her personal situation. In Jin Nim has done exceptional work through her ministry over the past several years in America, revitalizing our families, empowering and inspiring our young people and attracting new people to join our church. In addition, she made great impact in the area of human rights through her outreach to the U.S. Congress. That good work should continue. While True Mother has been entirely focused on attending True Father during this time, she has also given much thought and prayer toward resolving the difficult situation in America, so that America as the elder son nation can go forward and fulfill its critical mission. Mother’s first decision following True Father’s Seonghwa was to call Rev. Hyung Jin Moon to take direct leadership in America, while still fulfilling his position as World Chairman. He accepted True Mother’s call and the HSA Board unanimously approved his appointment as President and CEO of the American Church. In accordance with True Mother’s direction, Rev. Hyung Jin Moon will come immediately to America and begin a 12-District tour to meet with all of our families, accompanied by Dr. Yang and Rev. Cotter. His leadership will be a great blessing to America. Brothers and Sisters, let us go forward and continue to work together, honoring and building upon what True Parents have established in America to bring total victory on Foundation Day. Sincerely, Dr. Chang Shik
