True Parents’ Award - 2013 Nomination Form

Please Nominate (up to 5) members who you believe should receive the “True Parents’ Award.” The True Parents Award is an award that was initiated by True Mother. When True Mother spoke after True Father’s Seong Hwa she mentioned that she wanted members to work hard and that those who set the highest example would be given an award.

All members of our church who are members of the NY District are eligible for nomination. In making your choice, please consider the guidance given by Dr Michael Balcomb :

International Headquarters has already indicated that candidates should be exemplary members with outstanding accomplishments in the key areas of evangelism and witnessing, including bringing spiritual children; raising blessed children to receive the Blessing; liberation of ancestors; tithing and other donations; church service attendance; distribution of autobiographies, and more.

To this important list I would like to add other, less tangible elements of faith and commitment for your consideration. These can include, but are not limited to, things such as voluntary service in and outside the church; voluntary participation in councils and other church bodies; teaching the Divine Principle, leading prayer services, and other religious practices; Sunday School teaching and other methods of discipleship and stewardship.

You may also consider nominating those who have cheerfully overcome significant challenges, such as losing a partner through death or divorce; raising children alone; or even the loss of a child, yet managed to maintain their faith and commitment to the work of God and True Parents. I also want to encourage the recommendation of younger members, and the second generation, and others who have made a great commitment to God’s work here in America.

In all of the above areas, I suggest giving heavier weight to current and recent efforts, rather than those achieved long ago.

Please print names clearly
