May the blessing and love of God and True Parents be with each continent, nation and providential organization as we usher in the era of the completed settlement of the model providence for the ideal of peace in heaven and on earth. This is to announce the new revised version of the English translation of the Family Pledge. The Family Pledge was originally announced on May 1, 1994, and since then has served as the standard of faith for all blessed families and members. On February 8, 1998, verse eight was added; and then on April 18, 2004, verse two and verse eight were revised. The new version announced at this time reflects certain revisions that have been made based on what True Father has said since the commencement of the Completed Testament Age. These revisions deal with parts of the initial translation which were under debate in terms of its rendering in English.

1. How to Recite the Family Pledge All blessed families, when reciting the Family Pledge, should do so in Korean.

2. The New Revised English Version of the Family Pledge (To be used as reference in understanding the meaning of the verses in the Korean Family Pledge.)
