In my opinion, this Rally, held on such a foundation, was all the more meaningful because Christianity in America came together to attend True Parents, especially True Mother. In the report, Bishop Ki-Hoon Kim, Presi- dent of the Unification Movement in America stated that hosting a rally under the leadership of True Parents, with an audience of more than 20,000 people, had been unimaginable initially.

Another positive thing beside this rally is that there is a great hope that Africa is going to be moved on a large scale. Important religious lead- ers from Senegal, Zimbabwe and South Africa were specially invited to attend the rally, and at the dinner True Mother gave on the 16th at East Garden, they gave her great hope.
