“Thank You” for Our Collective Apology

For the past two months, we have asked our members and friends to sign a Recognition of Injustice and Apology as an expression or our profound regret that True Father was unjustly prosecuted and imprisoned here in America. We also sought to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation for True Parents’ tremendous investment of time, resources, energy and love for the sake of America and the world.

It has been thirty years since True Father was prosecuted. His conviction was a culmination of persecution of his faith and religious teaching based on prejudice and misunderstanding. On that occasion, Unificationists, members of the clergy and Ambassadors for Peace came together to convey this apology and offer comfort and encouragement to True Mother.

As we approach the USA National Memorial Celebration in Honor of True Father’s life and great work in America, we are happy to announce that this important initiative has reached its successful conclusion! The Recognition of Injustice and Apology was presented to True Mother and received by her with a heart of thanks.

We want to thank all who joined in this collective apology. It is truly meaningful to have made this internal stand for justice. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. warned, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
