Report on DP workshop for clergy
Dear Family,
We are having quite a profound experience here in New Jersey at the
Ocean Place Conference Resort. As with the experience in Ocean City the
clergy are absorbing the DP with profound depth. The state president
of one Baptist convention is here. He is studying very seriously.
Bishop Stallings, Rev. Edwards, Bishop Johnson and Rev. McGhee are the
hosts from the ACLC National Executive Committee. Rev. Daugherty is our
moderator, Rev. Schanker, Rev. Kevin McCarthy and I are giving the DP.
New power point lectures with powerful graphics are being used now.
The theme of tearing down the walls is connected with ending the era
of the cross, the typical problems that used to exist concerning the fall
or man, Jesus mission and the fact the cross was God's secondary plan.
There used to be walls and tensions abounding in the past.
Now the clergy are asking questions like, "Why didn't Israel understand
and believe in Jesus." "How can we keep from repeating the mistake of
the first Israel?" Some have completely come to the conclusion as one
pastor stated, "Flesh and blood didn't reveal this to me, it has been
confirmed in my spirit that Father Moon is the one Jesus chose as the
Second Coming !"
The depth of these clergy is significant. They have suffered greatly
to remain in the battlefield standing by Rev. Moon. All of them.
They are now becoming quite proud of their suffering course and how God
blessed them as they overcame.
It is a most hopeful development. One pastor, who is also a
theologian and professor at New York Theological seminary stated,
" I understood something today that I never saw before. The depth
of Rev. Moon's teaching is profound and shines the light on Biblical
truths that were not yet uncovered. I come away with a profound sense
of inspiration and the desire to study more. I've already made my
reservations to come back for the Washington D.C. conference. It is
great. I also realized now that Father Moon is the first that Jesus has
anointed to build the True Family. We are also receiving that commission
through him. I found myself thinking, Rev. Moon is like Noah. Clearly
Jesus is with him. I feel he is like Noah calling us to get on the Ark.
The question is now, will we be like the people at Noah's time and miss
the ark? I can say for myself. That I will not miss this time!"
At the opening session, upon the request of Bishop Stallings, we read
Father's speech, The
New Future of Christianity given at MSG in 1974. This gives a
most profound expression of the whole DP from beginning to the end.
The pastors are deeply moved. Father speaks so clearly in this speech
about Jesus and reveals to the pastors (Pg. 34 Christianity In Crisis
- New Hope) the following: "There is so much to know, so many hidden
truths within the Bible which are not written explicitly. If I revealed
some of those secrets, I am sure you would be amazed. Even though I know
these things, I could not tell you those stories lightly. For you would
then ask, "How do you know such things? ... I learned them from Jesus."
Thanks America.
Please do all that you can to sponsor and assist bringing the leaders
of the Second Israel to these convocations.
The next one is in Chicago on March 19 - 22 at the Ramada Inn Airport.
After that is Los Angeles on March 24-27 and then Ocean City, Maryland
March 26 - 29.
From there we will fan out to all 50 states with a holy spirit movement
of the ACLC which will seek to remove the religious barriers that block
the body of Christ from becoming one with Islam and Judaism.
Love,
MWJ
