All the social sciences and studies addressing these issues reach the same conclusion: you have to build good families.
" Hyun Jin Preston Moon, founder and chairperson of the Global Peace Foundation (GPF), a U.S.-based nonprofit organization, emphasized the importance of building "One Family Under God" during a morning interview with Korean media in Munyonyo, Uganda, June 30.
The slogan "One Family Under God" aligns with the themes of the Global Peace Leadership Conference (GPLC) held in Kenya and the Inter-Religious Family Festival held in Uganda in late June. Both events centered on the GPF's mission of promoting the importance of family for spiritual and social cohesion, with Moon attending both events as a keynote speaker. During the interview, Moon provided a more detailed explanation of how families formed under the name of God serve as bedrocks of a healthy society.
"How do you build a good nation? It's on the foundation of good families that teach ethical and moral values to their children so that they become good citizens that can contribute to the nation. How do you build a good economic environment.
