2019-01-08 · Source: tparents.org
As you heard, the American leadership team met with True Mother in Korea to celebrate Christmas together. We had already shared a major change and that True Mother recommended in the USA leadership of the Family Federation for a Heavenly USA.
Since officially installing Rev. Demian Dunkley as the new President of the Family Federation and HSA- UWC on January 3 in New York, we received further clarifications from International Office about other changes and new positions that True Mother suggested for America.
Our outgoing Family Federation president, Rev. Richard Buessing, will take the position of President of the Senior Pastors’ Association of the Family Federation for a Heavenly USA, which will become a new department.
Mr. Thomas McDevitt, will take the position of President of HJ Magnolia Foundation USA, a branch of the International HJ Magnolia Foundation. He retains his position as Chairman of the Washington Times, and will be stepping down from his positions with UPF International and UPF USA.
Dr. Michael Jenkins will take the position of Chairman of UPF USA.
Attached is the international memo about these changes.
Once again, let us join together to support our leaders in their new roles, as we continue to work together in unity with True Parents to bring victory of Vision 2020.
God Bless you and your families,
Dr. Ki Hoon Kim Vice President, FFWPU International Regional Chairman, North America
