Re: Beware Global Peace Festival
Date Edited: 20 Jul 2008 09:57:15 PM
The Global Peace Festival is an intereligious event, one of it's main sponsors being the Universal Peace Federation - The International and Interreligious Federation for World Peace.
I will tell you flat out that Unificationist such as myself are the main force behind the GPF event and the UPF, but I do not believe the website hides this fact.
If you go to the GPF USA Partners section here: gpfusa.org/partners/ you will see that the founding partners are listed as the American Clergy Leadership Conference (ACLC), Points of Light/ Hands on Network, Communities of Peace Foundation, The Kingmaker Foundation, Universal Peace Federation (UPF), and Youth Federation for World Peace (YFWP). The YFWP is the youth devision of our church, the official name of which is the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU).
Furthermore, if you click on the link for the full list of partners here: gpfusa.org/partners/list-of-partners/ you can see the FFWPU listed, in alphebetical order. For some reason wich I cannot explain because I'm not working with the web admins of the website, it along with many other partners do not include a website link, but it still is listed there and can be easily researched on the web with any decent search engine.
You may visit the official website of the international FFWPU here: www.ffwpu.org/ or the US website here: familyfed.org/
I don't have time to address you claims of father Moon being a "neo-facist" in full, but I can tell you that be beleives strongly in the prinsiple that God gave us free will. Therefore, while in a perfect world where everyone has the same views about God I think he likes the idea of a religious monarchy where a couple would rule as the direct representatives of God, untill then I think he strongly beleives in Republican Democracy as the best form of government so that the people of the world can turn to God at their own face and of their own free will.
Now, I have no official title in the FFWPU or the UPF so I cannot speak officially for them, but the statements I've made today in this comment are what I sincerely believe to be true, and I hope that the violent bias of a few will not ruin something meant to help so many.
Wishing you freedom, peace, and true love in your life,
Christopher D. Osborn
