Love for All, Hatred for None
May 4th, 2013
Bridge of Peace and PowerPoint presentation held in Columbus, Ohio, May 4, 2013 On Saturday, May 4th, 2013, the WFWP Columbus chapter held a Bridge of Peace and PowerPoint presentation with the Women's Auxiliary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Groveport Ohio. Since last year we have been visiting each other and agreed to hold a Bridge of Peace between our groups, but a convenient time could never be found. Finally, when the leader of the Ahmadiyya group invited us to one of their meetings, we suggested that this would be a wonderful opportunity to have our Bridge of Peace together. She agreed and also invited us to give a PowerPoint presentation about "Women of Faith" which is based on Angelika Selle's "HerStory" presentation. Eleven of our sisters from WFWP…

Participants from across the country came together to not only experience a beautiful retreat in San Antonio, Texas, but to also come up with action steps for the next year including plans for the national conference in October.

The Power of Healing Through Feminine Wisdom
May 2nd, 2013
On March 23, the Minneapolis chapter held a group discussion on WFWP USA President Angelika Selle's video presentation, "Her Story." "In the video," according to participant Vicky Pehling, "Mrs. Selle reviewed how the Divine Principle plays a role in WFWP, saying, 'Father and Mother Moon have been teaching parent-ism to overcome conflict.' She also explained the role of Eve in the biblical human Fall, and how Eve's behavior in the past affects women living in the present." Those who attended felt inspired by the message and even came up with ideas on topics that the organization can focus on. Attendees like Mrs. Rose felt that the video expressed the need for women to stand up. "I was thinking that throughout the years, women have been held back from doing things…
The New Paradigm of Love, Sex and Marriage - Part 2
May 2nd, 2013
Pastors, youth pastors, and educators were invited to a seminar to discuss why sexual abstinence is important from a spiritual standpoint. "Sister Margaret Muhammad gave the Islamic view, Rev. Samuel Mosteller presented the Christian view, and Rev. Jack Whedbee presented the Divine Principle view," Nandi Moton said. The presentations were able to give the audience a sense of seriousness about the physical and spiritual consequences of premarital sex. "Sister Jo Ellen Paige said she was so inspired by the program she went home and had a deep and honest discussion with her daughter about how to dress. She said she just had to empty herself out and share with her daughter and husband what she heard," Moton said. The Atlanta chapter plans to distribute more Pure Love curriculums for the…
Why Clean Water Is a Basic Human Right
May 2nd, 2013
On March 17, more than 40 people gathered to participate in LA's monthly meeting. The focus was on the issue of safe, clean water as a basic human right. The speakers included Charles Trevino, member of the Board of Directors of the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District, and Mr. Ortega, an environmental engineer. "There are more problems to eliminate toxins continuously, as much of the water is reclaimed rather than coming from pure sources," Emma Reed said. "Also, the infrastructure for processing water is over 100 years old and not meant to support the large population we now have. [Mr. Ortega] predicted that the cost of water will soon be higher than the cost of cable TV for most citizens." The main speaker was Hadiara Diallo, director of…
