Mr. Lee also pointed out, “According to the teachings of Rev. Sun-Myung Moon, the founder of the Family Federation, we are heading toward the religion of the Korean people, who are trusted by the society based on the ideology of loving God, loving our neighbors and loving our nation with the torch of spirit and truth.”

President Lee closed his New Year address by saying, “In the year of the dog, the Family Federation is constantly striving to fulfill the mission of the religion that leads the national salvation movement with spirit and truth.” He also said, “As a religion that always practices its mission in this era, the Family Federation will do our utmost to live a life with a Hyojeong heart of filial piety, living with God as the parent of mankind.” ....[See the original story]
