Conference Planned For The National Association Of Shimjung Schools Homeschoolers To Be Welcomed
by Joy Morrow-Landover Hills, MD
Based on the inspiration of Rev. and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon and their direction to establish schools, on May 17, 1991 in Landover Hills, Maryland, the National Association of Shimjung Schools (NASS) was founded with the express purpose of establishing a system of education based on the Philosophy of Shimjung Education.
NASS will be holding its third biannual conference on Friday and Saturday, November 10 and 11, at New Hope Academy in Landover Hills. This year, for the first time, the conference will be open to homeschooling parents.
For all out-of-town participants, the NASS Conference will include a Friday morning observation time, when they can visit the various classrooms while New Hope is in session. New Hope will close early, at noon, and the New Hope staff will join the other conference participants for a lunch and an afternoon of presentations and sharing.
The Shimjung Education Conference will address the educational needs of children from preschool through secondary education. Over the two days of the conference, there will be some sessions for all participants, as well as other breakout sessions addressing specific concerns for homeschoolers-or others particular only to the classroom environment.
Priority for admission to the conference will be given to applicants whose school meets all the criteria for admission to the National Association of Shimjung Schools. (For admission to NASS, the applicant must meet all state and local codes and licensing regarding curriculum, policy, teacher certification, health, fire and safety as defined by the state in which the school or homeschool exists.)
To keep the conference at a manageable level, we will limit participation to the first 70 qualified applicants, with priority given to educators from established Shimjung Schools. Established homeschools will receive next priority. We are sorry, but because this is a working conference, attendance is limited to those school teachers and homeschool teachers who are already teaching, not those just thinking about doing so.
This is a wonderful opportunity to connect and share with other educators who are facing similar challenges and concerns.
There will be display tables available for persons wanting to share outstanding materials, texts, curricula or supplemental materials with the group. Teachers who are also distributors of such materials, who wish to sell them or take orders at the conference, will be asked to donate 20% of their profits from such orders.
Since homeschooling parents often know one another, we ask that when you hear about this NASS conference: please call your homeschooling friends and encourage them to participate. The cost for room and board is $40. In addition, a closing banquet will be held at a restaurant, and participants will be responsible to pay for the meal of their choice.
Participants should plan to arrive Thursday afternoon or evening, Nov. 9. To receive a registration packet, call New Hope Academy at (301)459-7311 or fax your address and registration request to (301)459-2813. If when you read this you feel "Oh, I should go!" please follow your heart and we will see you there.
Chicago Speech
by Bruce Sutchar-Elk Grove, IL
It was well past midnight as we filed out of True Parents' suite and walked into the quiet late summer's night of downtown Chicago. What had just transpired was an amazing experience for one and all, as True Father had invited many of the ministers and friends up to his suite following his highly successful speech in Chicago on Sept. 12. Many of us had never witnessed such an experience. We all knew that Father had been suffering from the effects of flu and fever, and Rev. Pak had informed us that Father would probably not even meet the members after his speech. However, his fever actually broke during his speech, and he offered an open invitation for all of our CAUSA and ICC guests to join him in his suite following the event.
All in all, over 50 guests took the elevator up to the Governor's Suite on the 40th floor of the Marriott Hotel on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago. The guests included Rev. and Mrs. Amos Waller, who had arranged with the mayor's office of the city of Chicago to provide True Father with a police escort from O'Hare Airport to the hotel. Rev. Waller had been so inspired by Father's vision of the Holy Blessing that he opened the doors of his church to all of the ministers in Chicago. As a result, 42 couples were blessed in Rev. Waller's Mercy Seat Missionary Baptist Church on Thursday, Aug. 24. Now the newly blessed couple, Rev. and Mrs. Amos Waller, were meeting True Father for the first time. But Rev. Waller also shared with us that back in 1981, during the time of Father's court case, he had had a dream. In that dream, he was standing on a stage in front of an auditorium filled with people, and he was shaking hands with Rev. Moon. Now, on this very night, that 15-year-old dream had become a reality.
Also in the room was Rev. A.I. Dunlap. Rev. Dunlap had given the opening remarks during the program, and the result was that each of the 2000 guests in the room were standing on their feet applauding. For Rev. Dunlap, Father was the one man in America who was bringing all races together, the one man in America who was actually carrying out Dr. Martin Luther King's dream. We have been having a joint service with Rev. Dunlap in his Mt. Olive A.M.E. Church on the south side of Chicago for the past 11 years. On True Parents' Birthday in 1993, Rev. Dunlap came to New York to present Father with a beautiful trophy on behalf of American Christianity for his successful speaking tour across the United States. And Rev. Dunlap had also participated in the Holy Wedding Ceremony in Rev. Waller's church. Rev. Dunlap has become a major spokesman for our church in Chicago. He had been interviewed by CBS radio and the local Christian television station. He has met the head of NBC television in Chicago and the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune in order to inform them about our True Parents' ecumenical activities. And most importantly, Rev. Dunlap was one of five ministers who went to jail in order to defend Father's name in Chicago (nothing new for Rev. Dunlap who had been imprisoned 39 prior times for his work in the civil rights movement).
And the list would go on and on from 83-years-young Rev. M.E. Sardon, Major General Ted W. Sorensen (who sat on the floor right in front of True Parents), Dr. and Mrs. Jakie Roberts (also recently blessed), Rev. Tom Lee, a CAUSA graduate who is now Mayor Daley's special assistant and who had come to the event to read the mayor's greetings to True Father. Also present were many of Chicago's most outstanding Hispanic leaders, including Rev. and Mrs. Jose Lozano, Dr. and Mrs. Guillermo Bauta, Dr. and Mrs. Guillermo Mendez, and Dr. and Mrs. Amado Egues, who together had presented plaques to Father at the end of his speech, honoring him for his successful South American tour and the victorious Blessing of 360,000 Couples throughout the world.
And Father in his most loving way taught these ministers and guests for over two hours following his public speech. He transformed his 40th floor suite into the Belvedere Training Center. He loved them, he appreciated them and he implored them from the bottom of his soul to live a Principled lifestyle. He explained the Holy Blessing and he taught the Divine Principle directly to each of the guests. At one point, as Father explained the true meaning of the Holy Blessing as the world's only salvation and solution from the AIDS epidemic, Col. Han was forced to translate through his tears. At another point, we thanked Father for everything, in an attempt to let him go to bed and rest, but he just continued to teach us until well past midnight. In such a small room, you could feel the love and the truth coming out from every pore of Father's body.
Our event had been a success. Under the guidance and leadership of our regional director, Rev. Jong Bok Hong, our membership and leadership had come together in heart and spirit to work as one body toward the goal of bringing a successful event for our True Parents. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that over 2000 people were in attendance. People were standing three deep along the back and side walls and an adjacent room with a closed circuit television was filled to capacity. Along with the letter of greeting from the mayor, there were proclamations from the governor of Illinois and the city of Chicago, letters of greeting from the state treasurer and the U.S. congressional majority whip. Father Lawrence Fares, a Catholic priest from Detroit, had flown into Chicago to offer the invocation and a number of choirs along with the Rev. Walter Butts had filled the hall with the sweet spirit of gospel music.
But it was Father's gifts which left the most lasting impression. Whether it was his teaching of True Love and True Family shared with the guests or the more intimate talk given upstairs, everyone who came left with a lasting impression of the True Love of God. And we left with a much deeper sense of True Parents' desperate effort to save mankind.
The next morning the headline in the Chicago Sun-Times read: "Reverend Moon Answer his Critics." The incredibly positive full-page article showed a beautiful picture of Father smiling broadly at Dr. Morton Kaplan, who had just hugged Father following his brilliant introductory remarks. And the caption below read: "The entire world did everything it could to put an end to me, yet I did not die, and today I am firmly standing on the top of the world."
Following the event, I had a discussion with the religion editor of one of the most influential national daily newspapers in America. The editor remarked to me that he has been studying Father's life. He then noted that after 40 years of struggling against so many forces that have opposed him, he realizes that Rev. Moon is continuing to succeed ever more and more. The editor then related that he is seriously examining and wondering theologically: What if? What if Rev. Moon is the Messiah?
Yes: what if?
Blessing '95 Testimony
by Brandon Olivia-Berkeley, CA
My Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Before I had left for Korea, my spouse Hiroko Izumi, a Japanese sister from Okayama, had been in contact with Masako Thompson several times. She had told Masako that she was very happy with the match and that there was no difficulty for her to go to Korea. We were not expecting any more contact from her after that.
A day and a half before I was to leave for Korea, I had to stop by Kevin and Masako's house to get something. The moment I walked into the house, I saw Masako talking on the telephone. She immediately waved to me and said, "It's your spouse. She just called." Hiroko's mother had become negative, trying to stop her from going to Korea. Hiroko was worried her relatives might kidnap her. "Please do a prayer condition for her safety. She will leave tonight from Japan and arrive in Korea tomorrow morning."
So with this concern in my heart, I left for Korea. When we arrived, we were put on a bus and brought to a ski resort two hours away. I was informed that if my spouse was in Korea, she would already be there ahead of me, waiting. When we arrived, we checked in at the U.S.A. office. Immediately I asked if Hiroko was there. They said no. All my worst fears rose up before me. I thought: if something happened to her, I will go to Japan and find her. I don't know how, but I will. If she can't come to the Blessing this time, I'll wait with her until the next. I went out and prayed a desperate prayer: "God, bring Hiroko here safely. How can I meet her? Please show me." At the end of this prayer, I walked around my building. It was then past midnight. Ahead I saw one Japanese brother, Hiro, from my center. He was with another brother, and they walked up to me. The other brother said, "Hi, are you Brandon?"
"Yes."
"I have a gift for you."
"What do you mean?"
"You're looking for something, right?"
"You mean my spouse...."
"Yes, follow me!"
On the way to her room, he explained to me how he met my spouse. In Korea he had gone to meet his spouse at the airport and Hiroko was on the same plane. Offhandedly he had asked Hiroko who her spouse was and she told him my name and where I was from. Somehow he remembered me, and when he arrived at the resort, he saw Hiro and asked where I was. Thus we met.
As I stood outside the door of Hiroko's room, the other brother's spouse came to the door. The other brother was Michel from Quebec. We were to become good friends. His spouse was Miyuki from Japan. She became the main link of communication between me and Hiroko.
After much giggling and laughing inside the room, the door slowly creaked opened and before me stood the person who I was soon to realize was, in every sense, my other half. We said hello, then she ran inside. Immediately she returned with presents and gave them to me. Three were for my parents. For me she had gotten a fountain pen because she heard I was a poet. I quickly told her how I had come to meet her and how worried I was, but that it was truly God's protection and guidance which had safely brought us together. She said, "I believe in God and True Parents, so I came."
The next morning over breakfast we talked about our family situations. I explained my feeling about our matching and we found we both felt we fit perfectly and that we were truly predestined from a long time ago to be here at this moment. We were both amazed. Our sharing became very open and honest and so relaxed. For the first time in my life I did not feel I had to try to be something. Very quickly she had accepted me and I had accepted her.
We went to the first church headquarters and then to Hong Halmonim's Won Jon. There, for the first time, we knelt down and prayed. It was such a wonderful feeling. On the way out, she said, "Brandon, camera, camera." She was reminding me not to forget it. Then she said, "Brandon, bag here." She had already noticed my tendency to forget things. She was trying to help me already. I was so moved.
The next day was the Holy Wine Ceremony. The rain was pouring again. The Americans were shuffled around all over the stadium for many hours until finally we settled in one place. During this time we had become separated from Michel and Miyuki. I wanted to say something, so I took her dictionary and started pointing at different words. I tried for 20 minutes to explain one sentence. Then I overheard one Japanese brother say something in English, so I asked him to translate. I told her how grateful I was that she has accepted me and that she was here with me. She wrote me a letter. When I read it, it was like a lightning bolt hitting my spirit. "You mean everything to me!" My eyes became so big, my face was blank. I looked at her and she smiled at me. She understood my heart.
A speech was given by Rev. Kwak. He explained that without the Holy Wine we could not receive the Blessing, and without our spouse we could not receive the Holy Wine. At that point so many tears began coming down my face. They were tears of gratitude. This person who sat beside me had just told me I meant everything to her. She has walked the path of restoration to meet me, and now through her I was to receive the Holy Wine.
Then the ceremony began. As I waited our turn to receive the Holy Wine, my heart began to ache for True Parents. As I watched the representative couple approach, my spirit began to shake. After we took the Holy Wine, I sat down and closed my eyes for a long time; then I opened them. I looked around the stadium and, to my amazement, it seemed as though I had never seen so clearly before in all my life. I looked at the people around me and they were my brothers and sisters. I thought of True Parents and for the first time I really felt as though they were my parents. Then I bent my head and prayed such a tearful prayer. And for the first time in my life, I felt free to pray as a child of God.
Then came the closing prayer. We were instructed to put our hands together, one atop another, and the prayer was offered. While touching her hands I felt as though there were only one set of hands there, and that they were clasped tightly together. At that point I felt as though our covenant was sealed.
That night we went back to the ski resort. Our two couples agreed to meet for dinner after we had changed clothes. When we met, Hiroko looked a little concerned, and she asked me if I had the bag full of personal things. I said no. We went to the U.S.A. office to see if they had found something on the bus. They said no. She became very concerned and frustrated. They called the bus company but they didn't know anything either. The Japanese brother asked her what was inside her bag. She explained: her driver's license, about 200,000 won, and 20,000 yen. She sat down and began to cry so much. My heart was crushed. Here was this person I cared for so much, in such deep pain. All I could do was sit beside her. Then one sister remembered she had picked up several bags from the floor and thrown them away. Quickly I ran out the door and down to the trash bags by the bus. I tore everything open and found nothing, and then at the bottom of the last bag, I found what she was looking for. She had followed behind me. When she saw me with her bag, she ran over to me and began to look through it frantically. She saw her wallet, her money, her driver's license, everything was there. But still she was desperate. I couldn't understand. Then suddenly she pulled out her camera, and with incredible excitement grabbed my arm and screamed out joyfully in Japanese, beginning to cry with relief: the pictures she had taken of us together were safe!
My heart was melted.
The next day was the Blessing. We all arrived at the stadium, and again it was raining; we lined up on the field in front of the stage where the Americans belonged. Michel and Miyuki, and Hiroko and I, were standing side by side. What a wonderful experience to go through everything with new friends. Before the ceremony was to begin, I had to take care of one small detail: I had to find three Blessing rings: one each for Hiroko and Miyuki and myself. For hours I ran frantically around the stadium looking for extra rings. I heard a rumor concerning where some would be, so I went there but those were for Japanese members. I fought and fought but couldn't get any. Then I saw one Japanese staff member from the American group. He borrowed two sisters' rings for our spouses, and then bought one for me. I got the rings and ran back just in time for the start of the ceremony. It was still raining.
The ceremony began with the opening remarks. When we welcomed True Parents onto the stage, the rain stopped. Everyone took off their raincoats so we could face True Parents without any barriers. As we said "yea" to the vows, I could feel that Hiroko and I were one. There were 36,000 couples being blessed at the stadium at one time. Yet I can say honestly that at that moment, it felt as though Hiroko and I were the only ones in the stadium. Just True Parents and us. That's how personal it was.
As the ceremony ended and True Parents walked off the stage, we waved good-bye. And then the rain started again. The ceremony was over; we were blessed.
Our final day together, I saw Hiroko off at the airport. As we sat next to each other on the bus to the airport, she turned to me and said, "Sing, sing!" So I sang her "Amazing Grace" and "I'll Never Leave You Anymore." After each she clapped and gave her warm and deep smile of approval. Then she pulled out a package and gave it to me. It was a pen and pencil set. The name of the brand was "Twins". She said, "Pick one; I'll keep the other."
At the airport, we said good-bye. For the first time, I was truly sad to see someone leave. In such a short time this person had come to mean more to me than anyone else-this was True Parents' love. The love they have for each of us. I immediately missed her, but we had talked about the meaning of our time of separation and had determined that for us it would be the purest sacrifice. We promised to move forward and to fight together. I was no longer alone in this world. Thank you, God and True Parents!

Autumn in Korea
by Steve & Jerry Tamayo, Don & Leslie Holliday
The long, hot humid days of summer and torrential monsoon rains of August have faded now like a mirage in a desert and seem to belong to another land and time, as the peaceful autumnal breezes flow gently and flee quietly, almost unnoticed, as they wend their way through the busy traffic-clogged streets of Seoul. By now the students at Sun Hwa School have almost completed one month of school.
With this newsletter, we welcome those returning to Korea. On Sept. 4 we had the privilege of hearing Mrs. Hoon Sook Moon as she spoke to the new GOP students at the 15th entrance ceremony for foreign students at Sun Hwa School. Afterwards she met with students and took some pictures with them.
On Sept. 9 we took the students out to eat dinner at Ponderosa Restaurant. The following day all the students at Sun Hwa dormitory had a rousing game of Yutnori as we concluded the Chusok weekend.

Angels Bar & Grill: A Summary
The angels bar and grill comic book begins with two college students returning from Woodstock II in their beat-up volkwagon van. It is raining and they've lost their way. Bill and Sandy are discussing their sexual relationship and having some disagreements when they decide to get directions at a diner called angels bar & grill. Inside they see someone who looks like Jack Kerouac, the 50s "beat" writer. They are surprised to hear this man claim to be Kerouac and to introduce people who, he says, are Malcolm X, Marilyn Monroe, and Sigmund Freud.
A discussion ensues concerning the last four decades in America, with particular attention to the Sexual Revolution and its consequences a generation later in terms of out-of-wedlock births and divorce. The personal stories of each of the characters are interwoven into the debate. Later on Marilyn Monroe discusses differences between men and women and the benefits of marriage. Towards the end, Sigmund Freud states that he never intended a sexual revolution and that he had acknowledged the reality of nonsexual love.
The two college students argue with and resist many of the ideas presented, but finally "get it" and decide to make an important change in their relationship. The comic book concludes with an emotional scene involving Jack Kerouac and his daughter whom he'd never admitted being the father of or even met until she was 16 years old.
Angels bar & grill was written and produced by Richard Panzer and illustrated by Mark Moore, a cartoonist who has worked professionally in the New York area for the past five years. Richard Panzer, who has a degree in Filmmaking from Yale University, is a developer of educational programs that deal with AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, and the ethical dimensions of love and sexuality.

Interview with the author of angels bar & grill, Richard Panzer:
Q: Why did you write angels bar & grill?
A: There are a lot of issues I struggled with as a college student many years ago. I wished at that time that someone could have given me some clear guidance. It would have saved me many headaches and I could have avoided hurting some other people, too. This comic book is my attempt to discuss important issues in a somewhat entertaining way.
Last year, I gave a presentation called After the Sexual Revolution at Yale University where I completed my undergraduate degree. Several students came up to me afterwards and shared their struggles and opinions regarding the results of extramarital sex.
One student who was in his second year explained that he and his girlfriend had gotten sexually involved very early in their relationship. The results, he said, had not been very good. She had just dropped out of school and he was about to do so, too. There were other students who said that this was the first time they'd ever heard this type of message (pro-monogamy, pro-marriage) on campus. A few argued with me but seemed to enjoy being challenged.
Q: Where did you get the idea for the comic book?
A: I've been researching the area of sexuality and family breakdown for several years now. I got the idea of doing a comic book which revolved around Jack Kerouac, the 50s "beat" writer, someone I read in college, admired and was influenced by. He was a founder of the "beat generation" which was a forerunner to the counterculture of the 1960s. More recently I read a biography of his life and realized how contradictory his life was.
He expressed a lot of energy, openness to the world around him and idealism in his writing, but at the end of his life ended up as an alcoholic. He'd also had a child with his first wife but soon divorced. He denied being the girl's father and only began to send small amounts of support after she was 12 years old.
I thought he was a good representative of the confused and contradictory babyboomer generation which incorporated many of his ideas and that by exploring his life, college students would be able to reflect on how his ideas ultimately had bad outcomes.
Q: What about the other characters in the comic book such as Malcolm X, Marilyn Monroe, and Sigmund Freud?
A: I was talking with some friends, Bill Hilbert and John Williams, to get their input for the comic book. Someone mentioned Malcolm X and Marilyn Monroe and I thought it might be a lot of fun to have the comic book be a discussion, no, a debate or argument between these characters. I went to the library and read The Autobiography of Malcolm X and parts of some biographies about Marilyn Monroe.
It became more and more clear that Malcolm X would provide a foil to Jack Kerouac, a clear, strong, sometimes judgemental voice. My view of Malcolm X previously was that he was a black radical who thought all whites were the devil, but the more I reflected on his life and words I realized that his thinking went through many changes.
In any case, after his conversion to Islam, he was very serious about sexual purity. After his marriage to Betty Shabazz he continued to travel and to speak all over the country and later he traveled to Mecca. The FBI was following him and tapping his phone, so they had a pretty clear idea about his personal lifestyle. Even they remarked how faithful he was to his wife and devoted to his daughters. In that respect, he provides a very good example.
Marilyn Monroe, of course, married and divorced several times, had many affairs and committed suicide. I felt some sympathy for her because she never knew her father and because she seems a somewhat pathetic, exploited figure as a socalled "sex goddess." I wondered, "if she could come back from death, what would she tell us?"
As for Sigmund Freud, he is one of the key thinkers of the 20th century whose ideas about the sex drive (libido) and sexual repression as the source of neurosis have had a great impact on the popular culture. After reading some of his writings, I realized that he never advocated a sexual revolution and even moderated some of his contempt for religion because he saw the need to teach people about unselfish love.
Q: Where'd you get the idea for angels bar and grill as the setting for the comic book?
A: Originally, I was thinking to have Jack Kerouac and his friends travel around the country as his characters do in his books, but then I thought about all the college bull sessions I took part in that occurred in some diner or local hangout. Diners were the only place you could stay in for hours without ordering anything more than a cup of coffee. So the comic book is a kind of homage to diners as a "mecca" for would-be philosophers that all my friends and I aspired to be in college.

American Health
"I can't believe the sad state of American health." That's what Arnold Schwarzenegger stated soon after his appointment as chairman of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports by then president George Bush. "But America's secret tragedy," he added, "is America's children." He explained his remarks by referring to the fact that 40% of all American youngsters between the ages of five and eight already show at least one heart disease risk factor: physical inactivity, obesity, elevated cholesterol or high blood pressure.
Last month I emphatically stated that we have a very clear and effective way of protecting ourselves and our children from many, if not most, diseases that befall millions of Americans every year. I am not referring here to surgery or drug treatment but to the very simple, yet highly beneficial and effective way of eating called "Proper Food Combining."
One of the first physicians to mention this term was Dr. Daniel Munro, author of "Man Alive-You're Half Dead." In his book he states: "Important clinical observations prove there is no greater absorption of foodstuffs than when eaten in proper combination." In other words, we are not what we eat, but what we are able to digest and assimilate. Take a look at the food-combining chart and you will see how to eat your meals in a manner that will make it easy for your body to properly digest all that you eat. Can you see how the standard American diet violates these food-combining principles? No wonder former surgeon general C. Everett Koop said: "Nearly everyone in the country is sick."
Let me give you a simple daily meal plan that you and your children can follow that will set you on the path to optimal health.
BREAKFAST: Eat fresh fruits only. Eat as much as you want of any one kind until one hour before lunch. Fruits are mostly composed of water, minerals and their own enzymes. (Read last month's column for an explanation of enzymes.) The reason for eating one kind of fruit is that different fruits digest differently.
LUNCH: Eat carbohydrates (high-starches) and fresh, raw or steamed vegetables.
DINNER: Eat one kind of protein and low-starchy vegetables.
Drink raw carrot juice, if possible, with lunch and dinner and have a fresh salad with it as well (avoid head lettuce.) If you get hungry in the afternoon it's OK to eat leftovers from lunch or some carbohydrate snack, but remember that starches require about 2-3 hours for complete digestion. So don't have that snack to close to your dinner. Also, it's fine to switch your carbohydrate and protein meals or to have two carbohydrate meals in a day once in a while, but don't have two protein meals per day. The body does not require nearly as much protein as most Americans have been led to believe. On the contrary, there is ample evidence that excessive protein consumption has some serious consequences for our health.
In addition, AVOID:
White rice (use brown rice)
White flour (use whole wheat flour)
White sugar, chocolate, caffeine, and soft drinks.
Mucus-forming foods:
All dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream). However, use sweet cream butter rather than margarine.
Orange Juice (Whole oranges are fine)
DO: Have a diet consisting of 70-75% raw food, and always eat a raw food with a cooked food.
Drink plenty of distilled water (mostly between meals), and use it for cooking too.
Exercise! Start slowly at first and try walking or swimming, etc.
Take care of yourself in other ways. Dry brush your body with a natural bristle brush, learn how to deal with stress, and smile!
Do you know one of the major additional benefits of following this meal plan based on proper food-combining principles? Your body will begin to settle down to its proper weight! For most Americans this of course means-losing weight. And you will accomplish this without starving and without depriving yourselves of any nutrients. Try it. You have nothing to lose but all those extra pounds.
95 Tour, Philadelphia & New Brunswick, NJ
by George F. Glass, Newark, NJ
Could anyone have really expected True Parents to slow down after the Blessing of 360,000 Couples? In retrospect the answer is, "Surely not." Yet , in early August no one anticipated how greatly Father would intensify the Providence with his announcement of a 16-day, 16- City Speaking Tour in America.
Despite the intense focus of all members on Blessing '95, once the announcement was made everyone in the region united to make a success of Father's tour.
Rev. Do Hi Park called me early in August to ask if I could coordinate the campaigns in Pennsylvania (Philadelphia) and New Jersey. Once I agreed to do this Rev. Park assembled a powerful team to begin preparations. I would serve as Chairman. Mr. Sato of IOE and Mrs. Sato of Kodan, Hope Igarashi of WFWP and Ron Gurtatowski of Family Federation would stand as Vice-Chairs. Rev. Thomas Baldwin and Rev. Andre Jenkins would assist me. Pierre Tardy and Neil Angelino would be responsible for raising funds.
The first thing we did was to establish a prayer condition. Mrs. Sato, along with Mrs. Kono and other Kodan women, organized all Japanese women into prayer teams so that there would be daily prayer and fasting throughout the campaign.
Next came the securing of dates and venues for the speeches. In the original schedule sent from Headquarters, the first speech was to be New York on the 5th, the next in Philadelphia on the 6th, followed by Bridgeport on the 7th and New Jersey on the 8th.
In New Jersey, Rev. Baldwin quickly discovered that there were only 14 possible venues in northern or central New Jersey capable of seating 1000 people or more guests. Of these, all 12 locations in northern New Jersey were booked for the night of September 8th. The other 2 venues in central New Jersey were both available on September 8th. Rev. Baldwin secured the Brunswick Hilton in East Brunswick near Rutgers, the State University as the site for the speech.
In Philadelphia, Rev. Jenkins was already negotiating with the Philadelphia Marriott hotel for a related program. He had already been informed that we could reserve the hotel ballroom for September 6th for Father's speech when he was contacted by HQ as to whether he could change his date for his speech from the 6th to the 5th. (New York was in a dilemma since the Manhattan Center was irrevocably booked for the night of September 5th). Rev. Jenkins spoke with the hotel and discovered that the 5th was available; furthermore, because it was the day following Labor Day, a special discount would be given. He proceeded with the reservation for the 5th. This aided New York greatly but placed a heavy burden on Philadelphia for volunteering to go first.
The next step was to consider who to bring to the speech.
From the outset it seemed to me that we had a tremendous responsibility and opportunity to reach well beyond our membership for attendees for this speech. We called a general meeting for community leaders and all interested members at our newly purchased church in Clifton, New Jersey for a Wednesday evening. Despite everyone's busy schedule, 75 people turned out for this meeting.
The meeting was extremely productive as we heard the ideas of numerous members who felt we should be approaching 100 key members from each of 10 different categories of people: Public Officials (Federal, State and Local Levels), Clergy, Education Professionals, Business People, Women's' Organizations,
Immediately following the Wednesday evening meeting Luis Patino spoke with me about contacting Ambassador Philip Sanchez to introduce Father at the speech.
Two evenings later we held another well-attended General Mobilization meeting. Peter Ross, director of Communications at Unification Church HQ came over from New York to give us pointers on dealing with the Press and Media during this campaign. Ron Gurtatowski, chairperson for the Family Federation for Unification and World Peace in New Jersey gave a very informative talk on the purpose and role of the Family Federation, the group sponsoring the speech.
We made plans to contact as many public officials, ministers, community leaders and prominent citizens as possible. We would do this by invitation and follow-up phone calls. As much as we desired to contact these people we soon learned that we had no data base to work from. It was as if there had been no one from the Unification Church ever in New Jersey before.
Philip Soai-van, formerly of Christian Bernard, with long experience in advertising for that company, offered his services in producing as professional as possible an invitation for the special guests. Philip prepared a mock-up of the invitation, Richard Panzer supplied 3 key reasons why the invitee should attend the speech and Ron Gurtatowski contributed a well-written statement of purpose for the FFUWP. Philip was able to obtain several back copies of Today's World from Kathryn Coman and took these with him to his printer in Lincoln Park, New Jersey. There the printer and his staff worked with Philip to select 4 appropriate pictures which they then scanned into their computer for use in our invitation. Although Philip had prepared a beautiful 4- color invitation on his computer he had to forego that effort in the interests of saving time and money.
He eventually ordered the invitations in 2 colors (blue with the photos done in black and white) on white stock. The order went in on a Friday and by the following Wednesday morning the invitations were ready.
While Philip was busy with preparations for the printing of the invitation, Annie Gagne was busy recruiting more than 30 women to go to libraries to research name lists of possible invitees. Cynthia Nakai located a handbook with names of every municipal official in New Jersey. Rev. Baldwin immediately ordered a copy of the handbook and received it the next day. A similar book was located and purchased for southeastern Pennsylvania. Rev. Baldwin also purchased a CD-ROM phone book which enabled us to download and prepare labels directly from the computer names and addresses of all clergy in the New Jersey and Pennsylvania areas we were contacting.
The invitations were produced within days. The addresses, many written by hand by members all over New Jersey, were ready just in time for the mail out on Wednesday and Thursday, August 23rd and 24th. The mailout was done in the chapel of the new church at Clifton. Two long tables were set up, one side for the New Jersey invitations and one side for the Philadelphia invitations. Annie Gagne organized everything in an extraordinary way so that mothers with children old enough to stuff, label, stamp or seal envelopes could help their parent(s) and those with children too young for any of this could be cared for by other mother's downstairs or in the adjoining parsonage.
The mailout itself was a monumental effort which saw mothers, fathers and children coming and going all throughout the day and evening. 14,000 invitations went out by mail, half to northern and central New Jersey locations for the New Brunswick speech and the other half to southern New Jersey and all of southeast Pennsylvania for the Philadelphia speech. Nearly half of all the invitations went to clergy; all others went to selected professors and educators, leaders of various organizations, and every mayor, town clerk, township attorney, police chief, fire chief, school board president, school superintendent and town librarian. Another 400 invitations were made available for hand delivery by members throughout the region.
Flyers and letters to the Korean community were prepared in Hangul. Similar flyers were done in Spanish for all Hispanic communities.
And once the invitations were sent members all throughout the region took pages of names and phone numbers of invitees to personally contact as many people as possible in advance of the speeches.
The speeches themselves were amazingly successful after the short preparation period. Philadelphia's speech was held at the Philadelphia Marriott in Center City. The hotel, which opened just 9 months ago, has become renowned for its marvelous service. Every employee was enthusiastic in assisting us with preparations for Rev. Moon's arrival and stay. And our members in the Philadelphia area all assisted with all their effort to have the entire ballroom full with 1000 guests. Special thanks go to the members from the Washington, DC area who brought numerous guests from that area as well.
In Philadelphia, Farley Jones, President of the Family Federation for Unification and World Peace, served as emcee. Three musical pieces were presented followed by a marvelous invocation which greatly stirred the hearts of the guests. Then Rev. Wycliffe Jangdharrie warmly introduced Father. Both of these clergymen have long been supporters of ICC activities and even traveled to Korea in years past to tour Korea with the ICC. Following Father's speech, floral bouquets were presented to Father by representatives from the recent 360,000 couple Blessing, a plaque honoring Father for the work he and the Unification Movement have inspired and done in Philadelphia was given by Rev. Harry T. Wells of One Day at a Time, and a lovely crystal Liberty Bell symbolic of Philadelphia and America was presented to him.
Many guests in the audience were deeply moved by the content of Father's speech. Many were especially touched by his effort to speak in English.
In Brunswick, Bill Lay of the Family Federation, emceed the program. Entertainment during and after the program was provided by David Eaton, ___ and the New York City Chamber Ensemble.
Ambassador Philip Sanchez in his own very polished and personal way introduced Father to the guests. At the conclusion of the speech, as was done in Philadelphia floral bouquets were presented to Father by representatives from the recent 360,000 couple Blessing, a plaque honoring Father for the work he and the Unification Movement have inspired and done in New Jersey was given followed by a beautiful crystal remembrance of Father's trip to New Jersey was presented. The mayor of East Brunswick, although unable to attend in person sent his greetings and welcome to Rev. Moon. Dr. Zal Velez, Vice-Mayor of West Orange, New Jersey presented Father with the Key to West Orange. Dr. Velez listened very carefully along with his wife, Mrs. Josie Velez, to all of Father's speech.
Special mention has to be made with regard to the efforts of Andre Jenkins, Anslie Abraham, David Burke, Sally Seher, Ming Gi Eu, Maria Rodriguez, Mr. Lee, Mr. Pang and others to support Rev. Jenkins in Philadelphia. Rev. Jenkins was single-handedly locating venues for all the WFWP events for September, October, November and December in addition to the work he was doing for Blessing '95 when word came of Father's tour. He not only accomplished to Blessing and the securing of the hotel commitments for the WFWP but he also coordinated all efforts in Philadelphia and personally brought Rev. Wells and others with him in great numbers to Father's speech. Ainslie has been working with ICC ministers for some time and made every attempt to bring them all to Father's speech. David did all he could to support the program with press releases, contacting people personally and sending invitations. Sally worked very effectively with all members residing and working in the suburban areas of Philadelphia. Ming Gi, director of the national MFT team in Philadelphia, made his entire team available to assist with flower arranging, security and ushering duties. He himself coordinated the local security team. Maria Rodriguez worked tirelessly for more than 24 hours prior to the speech traveling from her home in northern New Jersey to Philadelphia late at night, then going to the flower market with Anslie Abraham in the early morning hours to select and purchase flowers and then working all day long in the small hotel room preparing the many bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, etc. with her small team of Japanese sisters. Mr. Lee and Mr. Pang, both Korean elders from the Philadelphia area worked especially hard with Korean guests.
Similarly, in New Jersey, special mention has to be made regarding the effort of Rev. Thomas Baldwin. Philip Soai-van, Alan Saunders, Francesco Santelli, Annie Gagne, Hope Igarashi and Kathy Sato, Luis Patino, Lova Wilson and Maria Rodriguez. Rev. Baldwin had had some prior experience in Iowa during Mother's speaking tour at the time of the great flood in the Midwest. Working on this campaign gave him new insight into preparing for Father. He was an exceptional factor in accomplishing much of the organizational effort all throughout the campaign. Philip, mentioned earlier in this piece, was an indefatigable assistant to George Glass. Full of ideas and completely responsible carrying out tasks, Philip worked side-by-side with George every day of the campaign. Alan, now a 3rd year student at UTS and only recently returned from witnessing to the highest level people in the Philippines in preparation for their Blessing on August 25th, learned of Father's upcoming speech at Brunswick upon his return to the States. As the former CARP director at Rutgers University (which is nearly adjacent to the Brunswick Hilton, site of Father's speech) from 1988 -1993 he immediately volunteered to assist with the campaign. Alan spent nearly every day for three weeks diligently and selflessly witnessing to professors, students and clergy in the area. Francesco was assigned the tasks of bringing ICC ministers to the event and also to obtain a proclamation or letter of greeting from the Governor's Office. Francesco worked tirelessly with ministers and the Governor's Office. He had an impossible task with the Governor but worked till the last minute there and with the East Brunswick mayor's office to welcome Father. Annie, in spite of caring daily for 6 children throughout the event, was invaluable and indispensable in organizing the entire event. Hope, in spite of working fully on the Blessing Committee and preparing as Regional Director of WFWP for the 4 WFWP Autumn events in Philadelphia provided major assistance and support throughout the campaign. Kathy Sato, in a similar situation as Hope also was invaluable. Luis Patino enabled us with his special talent and effort to have Ambassador Sanchez introduce Father. Lova called me every night to report on her efforts to contact people on the name lists she had been given. She contacted numerous ministers and held deep talks with each in an effort to move people to come to the speech. And again, as in Philadelphia, Maria headed the flower team with another herculean 24-hour effort.
Clearly, any success in filling the two hotel ballrooms with attentive and enthusiastic guests was the result of the intense effort invested by every member in Region 2. However much our membership could contribute they contributed fully. Whether it was contributing financially, by baby-sitting, by running to the library to find and copy names for labels, by contributing money or gifts, by making prayer conditions, by coming to the speech in person and/or with a guest, everyone in the region somehow contributed.
Father, of course, was the most amazing contributor of all. We saw him as a 76 year old father and grandfather setting aside any personal interests he might have had and coming to us, once again, no matter how difficult the task, to try to educate us, all the newly Blessed members and the general public in all that really matters, how best to prepare for and live our eternal life. He battled the flu and laryngitis every night and he pressed on for 12 more events after ours. We all felt the strain of investing ourselves in this campaign, but the moment we saw and heard Father, we all could understand again how we as sons and daughters of God were meant to live our lives here on earth.
