Title: Information on the changed method of the second generation's blessing.

The conclusion of the providence that began with True Parents' 80th Birthday celebration on February 10, 2000 (1.6 by the lunar calendar) will come to fruition with the Coronation Ceremony for the Kingship of God to be held on January 13, 2001. True Parents have guided the blessed families as tribal messiahs, and have blessed them as fourth Adams through the Registration Blessing. Finally, they opened the era wherein we can pray in our own names. Our victorious True Parents, welcoming the age of the family kingship of the original creation, have given their blessing on the era when parents can take responsibility for the blessing of their children.

According to True Parents' instructions, please will all continental directors and national leaders inform the members of the content below regarding the blessing of the second generation, so that all blessed families can embrace and follow this change in the providence.
