Our Unification Church was very positively spoken about

In spite of Satan’s intensive work, the spirit of the new age appears more and more in every respect. With deep gratitude and joy, we recognize the results of our Master’s work and are thankful for all situations we are put into by which we better understand his battles and sufferings and thus come nearer to him.

At the occasion of a conference of delegates of different religions, which was held under the theme “What is truth” we once more could see how superior and absolute the Divine Principles are. During this 3 days’ meeting which was sponsored by the local States Church, representatives of 15 Christian and non- Christian churches had the opportunity to give a 50 minutes’ lecture on the basic idea of their church. The atmosphere was very good, and I felt Father’s joy about this conference. Our Unification Church was very positively spoken about, and I could get into contact with more than 10 people exchanging addresses etc. It was proposed to have another meeting some months later and on that occasion to discuss a present-day problem taking all aspects into consideration.

Provoked by a big demonstration against the American support of Vietnam, a free-religious church launched a counter-action. They mainly criticized the infiltration by leftists of schools, TV and Radio and the distribution of the Marxist-Leninist teachings. Since then, there were so-called opinion-meetings which were much frequented. Reverend Stanly Sjoberg declared the war against the “ideology of Satan”

how he called the Marxist-Leninist philosophy. This free religious church has printed papers (100,000 copies) which shalt be distributed in front of large business centres, on market places and schools. Several persons in this church have received from the spiritual world that in this summer there will be a serious threat of leftist extremists in Sweden. So they call their members to procure weapon for an armed revolt. The other churches, however, keep themselves aside and even criticize the activities of this free-religious church.

In these days, a subject becomes more acute: life after death. More and more lectures are held on this topic as well as articles published in daily papers or in periodicals. Unfortunately, the theory of reincarnation is much emphasized, and therefore many people take to studying reincarnation. In spite of this, the talks of the spiritual world become easier, although the majority can hardly believe in a spiritual world, because they have grown up in the State’s Church which is strictly Lutheran.

Many very different people come to us in the center. Many want to believe in God and nevertheless offer resistance. Many do not want to admit that God has feelings. They say it sounds “too human”, if there should be a God who feels happy or sorry. We are very thankful and happy that we may experience God’s personality and that God is so rich in profound feelings. Many greetings to our beloved True Parents, the children and all who fight for Father’s kingdom.

In the Name of our True Parents,
