The Words of the Ang Family |
We in Berkeley send our deepest thought and hope toward each and all, always to sense the unity of our Families across the U.S. We hope that we can, all of us, be moving as one body to bring America to her rightful position as a responsible leader in the world community.
In Berkeley we often "feel that this seething world is about to burst at any moment", but at the same time we realize that it is entirely possible to make Father's and our dream a reality.
During this month we were fortunate enough to establish a relationship with Mrs. Evelyn McCune, a Korean-born expert in philosophy, history, and politics. Her father was a Christian missionary and scientist in Korea for many years and was instrumental in establishing some of the first Western-oriented educational centers in Korea. Mrs. McCune is a very gracious woman and has much to share about all facts of Korean culture. She has done much research into the life of the Korean Communist Premier Kim Il Sung. We hope to be sharing the knowledge we gain with you.
During the past month we have felt the influence of destructive forces. Two non-members who had moved in failed to respond to the principle. However, onward flows the establishment of God's kingdom.
On the weekend of May 29-31 we sponsored a spiritual workshop entitled "God and Man, a Spiritual Workshop of Restoration". The workshop was primarily intended to cultivate active give and take between Divine Principle students and Family members, and to deepen our understanding of the Principle of Creation through film, different types of music, personal experience, theatre, dramatic interpretation, the sunrise, volleyball, comedy, Holy Ground, the fall of man, and the teaching and lives of various spiritual leaders.
With such a wide variety of topics and experiences it would be difficult to recount the whole workshop. There was, however, one consistent and recurring theme. That theme was that all things are made possible through. In no other way can we come to reflect Father's image in each of us. Many things occur through growth; give and take increases and intensifies, subject and object become one, the purpose of creation is realized, understanding is developed, the visible and invisible worlds become one, all things come to have value, and finally, we become one with Father's Heart and Will. Many of these ideas were brought to us during the workshop.
Logos Litho Prints are developing gradually as we acquire more information about printing procedures, sales advertising, and most important -- how to create an atmosphere of harmonious working relationships. Satan doesn't like the idea of a restored business world. Many things must be considered and analyzed before actual business activities begin.
In Our True Parents, Names,
