GRAEME CARMICHAEL by Rev. Michael Jenkins e offer our sincere congratulations to Hyun Jin Nim and all those that joined together for ServiceW for Peace on July 26th. Also special thanks to our families who came out in full support with their whole family and guests. There was outstanding support from our first and second generation who came from New Eng- land to the South from Boston, Connecticut, NY, NJ all the way across the east coast to Florida and west to Chicago. Some even came from California. Art Roselle, AFC of Detroit together with Rev. Wm. Revely ACLC National committee member organized two buses for the event. Both generations were well represented. The summer of service was a month long experience in which 250 of our young people from the Family Federation families came and worked to serve every aspect of the community in Washington. The culminating event of service occurred when we joined with the DC public schools and Super- intendent Vance and cleaned the schools. Dr. Linda Boyd, our media consultant, helped set up the project with Michelle Meyers. She was the one who led the 50 state We Will Stand Media Team with Rev. Phillip Schanker.

We were blessed to have as our main presenters Mr. John Gehring, the International Direc- tor of RYS plus Mr. Alan Saunders, Character Education consultant working from the IEF office in New York, USA. In our group of participants, we had 13 nations represented, reflect- ing the multicultural nature of Aus- tralian society. In fact Mr. Saunder’s was the only Aussie participant with ancestral roots in this country and yet he has been working in the USA for the past 21 years. Unlike our previous program last June, when we had a number of young teenage participants, this time, all our participants were young adults and older. This helped to contribute almost immediately to a coming together of hearts and minds in a very mature and enriching way. The base of our activities was at the Ingleside Scout Camp where an open log fire and the sounds of kookaburra’s calling (affec- tionately known as Australia’s bush alarm clock) provided a rustic flavor to our event.

Regions west of the Mississippi raised funds to support the bus mobilization. AFC organized congressional appointments and more than 40 congressmen were met and connected to Service for Peace. Ken Bates as VP of World Carp and Dr. Thomas Phillips helped us to understand Hyun Jin Nim’s heart and vision for ownership. All organizations worked side by side.

Expertise in these matters lies with scholars of religion, and with religious leaders themselves. The assump- tion that one can conduct international affairs absent constant con- sultation with religious scholars and with religious leaders themselves should be unthinkable. Culpability for this problem lies not only with political and diplomatic leadership, but also with the religions themselves. Very briefly for the long term war on terrorism one must have a clear and complete knowledge of the full range of potential doctrinal interpretation on the issues of violence, the use of violence, conditions of war, issues of self-defense and so forth.

With 25 boys and 22 girls from 13 to 18, we created groups made up of mixed ages and mixed boys and girls. I believe this created a real trust relationship between participants and staff, helped the older ones to take care of the younger, and helped boys and girls get to know each other in a pure, vertical atmosphere. Comments from the group leaders and the group members were that it was a very positive experience. We did an exercise about beliefs at the beginning of camp which was quite revealing. We asked each participant to complete the following sentences and hand it in without their name on it: 1. I believe that God… 2. that love… 3. that True Parents… 4. that dating… 5. that education… 6. that my family… 7. that friends… 8. that life… 9. Describe your biggest struggle in your life right now. Some the responses were remarkable: i.e.: “I believe my family is a work in progress”; “True Parents work really hard for us… “…dating is practicing for divorce”; “love is the most powerful weapon against evil”; My biggest struggle: “…not being able to do stuff my friends are doing…”, “…is to want to remain pure…”; “…being in the position of 2nd Generation…” and more. Every activity had an internal side to it along with a competitive edge. The competition was not one of physical ability but of team unity.
