September 18, 2020

Hello Friends,

As you know, September 18 is a big date in U.S. Unification history. Here are the major events that occurred on this date:

1959 David Kim, the first Unification missionary, arrived in the U.S.

1960 HSA-UWC was legally incorporated in the U.S.

1974 Father spoke at Madison Square Garden

1976 Father spoke at the Washington Monument Rally

Today, an important event is added to the list…

2020 The Higher Purpose Forum website is launched!

After one year of preparation, our website will launch at about 4 PM today. The website address is www,higherpurposeforum,org

The purpose of this website, as stated in our Year One Game Plan, is:

A) Develop an organization, communication platform(s), and content to effectively disseminate True Parent’s teachings on topics related to spiritual understanding (“Godism”) and/or public policy (“Headwing”) to the broad US public.

B) Through this effort, have a beneficial impact on people’s personal/spiritual life, the quality and content of public discourse, and the advance of God’s providence.

C) By way of attribution, extend and expand True Parent’s legacy and recognition.

If these purposes are important to you, we kindly ask that you support the launch of this website. Here is what you can do to help:

1) Visit the site, read a “Conversation Starter” and add to the conversation.

2) Visit the site and donate. Except for the Steering Committee, everyone involved with this project is compensated for their efforts. We need funds to continue from here.

3) Share the website address with family and friends.

This project is only in the formation stage. We will continue to improve the quality, appearance, and variety of our content. We thank you for your patience and support as we grow.

Tuning Fork Spirituality SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 / BY JAMES EDGERLY

About fifteen years ago, my sister Gail offered this confident refutation of my “high religion” approach to spirituality: “Jim, I’ll tell you where I see God. I see God inside people, inside the people around me, inside myself.” “Unacceptable,” I thought at the time. “That’s so humanistic

and so belittling to God.” On the other hand, this came from my sister Gail — the gifted mother of a beautiful family. And I know well that she has pursued a life Join the Conversation

“Sexual Integrity”: What Is It? And Why Do We Want It? SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 / BY ANDREW LOVE

In recent years, we have seen startling falls from grace by major personalities – Bill Cosby, Matt Lauer, and Harvey Weinstein, to name a few. Decades of productive public life were all dead- ended in an instant, due to credible allegations of sexual misbehavior. The drama of these stories goes to the deep core of personal integrity. It also goes to something of central importance, but not well understood: sexual integrity. What is sexual integrity? Most of us generally understand the Join the Conversation

What is Happiness After All? SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 / BY MARK ANDERSON

We all want to know the future because it will affect our happiness and well-being. Who will win the presidential election? Is the stock market going to go up… or down? Will I get the promotion at work that I deserve? If we stake our happiness on future events, if we are just waiting for that better job or promotion to finally happen, then we are not going to be happy people. We must learn to find happiness in the midst of the uncertainties and disappointments of today. Also, even if I do find happiness, is it right to be Join the Conversation
