Letter from Rev. Cotter from Korea
Dear Brothers and
Sisters,
Greetings from Korea. We are now preparing for our
True Father's Seonghwa, under the personal direction of our True
Mother in order to honor our True Father on the world stage. In all
of history, and for all time, there is no greater title than True
Parent of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. This is the crowning glory of
True Father's victorious life.
Many of us have followed our True Parents for years, or even
decades, and are honored to attend him at the time of his ascension.
It is only now that we are beginning to realize the value of his
life. We want to show the world through his Universal Seonghwa
Ceremony his absolute greatness, so that they too may awaken to who
he is and what he has given to the world.
Our True Mother
invites each and every brother or sister to please come to Korea. She
wants everyone who loves our True Father to be able to offer devotion
to him in person. This is an incredible blessing and priceless
opportunity. Each family is asked to make a $1,200 offering to
express their gratitude.
We hope that at least one person from
each family can attend True Father's Universal Seonghwa Ceremony on
September 15th. You may arrive between September 12th to 14th to pray
and offer devotion. We ask that all brothers and sisters stay for our
True Mother's historic address to our worldwide membership on
September 17th. It's crucial that we come together at this time and
express our unity and commitment centering on True Mother's
leadership, representing True Parents.
We are responsible for
our own airfare. National Headquarters is currently researching
flight options to facilitate such a large pilgrimage. Accommodations
will be provided for all participants.
Let us join together in
supporting our eternal True Parents. As In Jin Nim reminded us in her
speech to the Chicago congregation, "None of us would be here
without True Parents. We would not have our spouse or our eternal and
unique, precious children." Let's show our love and gratitude to
True Parents.
Sincerely,
Rev. Joshua Cotter
