Whatcom Members Hold Lynden Gathering on Detained Unification Church Leader Hak Ja Han Moon
Members of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) in Whatcom County are inviting the community to an awareness and testimony gathering on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Lynden Library.
Participants will share personal stories of the practical guidance Hak Ja Han Moon has offered families on raising children, living with purpose and building a culture of peace.
The gathering also draws attention to her current situation. The 83-year-old religious leader is detained in the Seoul Detention Center in South Korea. She has consistently denied the charges against her, and local members view the accusations as false. Her appeal is continuing.
Those familiar with her work remain concerned about her health and the conditions of her detention, a matter of care for an elderly detainee (Psalm 82:3).
Whatcom County Commissioner Satpal Sidhu, Henry Cagey of the Lummi Nation, representatives from Lummi Community Services, and other local leaders are expected to attend. Their participation adds local voices to a discussion of faith, community and justice that connects Whatcom County with events in Seoul.
Families, friends and acquaintances who know Hak Ja Han Moon’s teachings and impact are invited to join. After brief remarks and open testimony, attendees are welcome to share brunch together.
