Keynote Address - Chairperson, Sun Jin Moon
Cheon Jeong Gung, September 7, 2015

Respected Cheon Il Guk Supreme Councilmembers!
It is a privilege and a pleasure to be herewith you today for the 6th Cheon Il Guk Supreme
Council Meeting, centering on Heavenly Parentand True Parents.
We have important work to do, and I appreciate allof you for your faithful attendance to True Motherat this time.
We convene the 6th Cheon Il Guk Supreme
Council meeting at a very historic time.
The past several days have been filled with aninspiring array of programs honoring the 3rd
Anniversary of True Father’s Ascension.
These include the Sunhak Peace Prize, the UPF
World Summit, Peace Road, the CIG World
Leader’s Assembly, the Youth & Student World
Assembly, and the publication ofChambumogyeong, centered on our beloved TrueMother.

It is clear that our movement is strong and moving
forward under True Mother’s leadership.
At the same time, the events of the past week havegiven me a renewed sense of purpose to make surethat we develop the Cheon Il Guk Constitution as aworthy roadmap for the future of our movementthat Heavenly Parent, True Parents, and worldwide
brothers and sisters can be deeply proud of.
Each one of us in this room is here because True
Parents have planted deep roots throughout thecourse of their lives, with unyielding passion,
dedication, and a profound heart of love,compassion, and sacrifice for Heavenly Parent andhumanity.
The roots of the true olive tree are deep and secure,centered on True Parents’ words.
We are all recipients of their grace through theBlessing, which connects us together as one family
under God.

As we know, once the root has been settled toprovide nourishment, which is God’s love and True
Parents’ Blessing, then the trunk can begin to form.
The trunk needs to be a pillar that is connected tothe root.
With this in mind, let us work to make sure theCheon Il Guk Constitution will provide clarity,stability, and support, as a mainstay to connect ourworldwide movement to our True Parents well into
the future, beyond our own lifetimes.
We have important work to do during this Supreme
Council meeting, which is a continuation of thework initiated during the 4th and 5th Cheon Il GukSupreme Council meetings.
One important task is to continue to deliberate on
both the proposed amendments to the Cheon Il Guk
Constitution and the rules of procedure or by-lawsof the 5 Wons.
Throughout this process let us always keep in mind
our True Mother’s guidance.
Let us also be mindful of feedback we havereceived from our brothers and sisters from aroundthe world.
While the Cheon Il Guk Constitution has been
affirmed, True Mother also asks that we continue toreview and discuss this historical document.
Moreover, as we identify areas of improvementthat necessitate an amendment to the Constitution
we should bring these to True Mother’s attention
for her guidance.
We are very fortunate that True Mother is with us
during this time, so that any proposed amendments
can receive her direct guidance.
Throughout our meeting, I ask that we keep thefollowing fundamental questions in mind:
How will the CIG Constitution protect True
Parents’ legacy?
How will the CIG Constitution best serve ourglobal community of brothers and sisters?
What is the scope of the CIG Constitution in termsof its application?
How can it become the pillar for True Parents’words, Blessing, and tradition, and contribute to thestable growth and development of our movement?
How can it be a source of unity?
Since our last meeting, all of us at the CIG
Secretariat along with the FFWPU IHQ staff andthe staff of the 5 Wons or branches have worked
diligently to analyze carefully to develop concrete
proposals for revisions.

I am very encouraged with the progress of theworking sessions and proposals for revision.
Rather than relying on our random ideas, weadhered to a very systematic and disciplined
approach to proposing adjustments.
As we worked and deliberated, we adhered to thefollowing guidelines:
Balance of Power
Keeping logical consistency throughout theConstitution and the bylaws
Practical application and usefulness of theConstitution and the bylaws
Sustainability of organizations
Good governance
Smooth Succession
Also, as I think we all recognize, the mostimportant and recurring issue that emerged fromgoing through each article of the constitution
during our 4th and 5th CIGSC meetings had to dowith succession, after True Mother is no longer
with us.
This 6th meeting of the CIG Supreme Council willbe a very critical and important meeting since wewill have the opportunity to deliberate and vote on
both the proposed amendments to the Constitution
and the management bylaws.
Our recommendations will be presented to True
Mother for her final approval.
Given the importance and magnitude of this 6th
Cheon Il Guk Supreme Council meeting, let us
each use our acquired wisdom, experience,
knowledge and heart to deliberate carefully andwisely.
Also, please feel free to speak your opinion andvote according to your conscience.
We are a team, and we can trust and respect oneanother, centered on True Love. But even greaterthan this, we are one family centered on Heavenly
Parent and True Parents. Let us work together as2

filial sons and daughters to realize a harmonious,
victorious nation of Cheon Il Guk.
It is my fervent desire that we can help improve theConstitution, applying all our love, prayer, wisdomand hope, so that it can become a secure resourceof harmony, peace, and love for generations tocome.
Even though we are very blessed to have TrueMother with us on this earth, providing wise
leadership, there is no time to spare.
Therefore, we have an urgent responsibility.

I know that if we can invest our hearts as a teamand become one family under Heavenly Parent
during this process of developing the CIG
Constitution, future generations will look upon ourefforts with gratitude.
Once again, I want to thank you for yourattendance to True Mother and for your service asmembers of the CIG Supreme Council. Let us use
these precious two days together to give our very
best effort for the sake of our Heavenly Parent, ourTrue Parents, all Blessed Central Families and the 7billion people of the world.
Thank you very much.
