Peace King

H.E. Rodrigo Carazo

President, Costa Rica (1978-82)

For Rev. Sun Myung Moon, there are no boundaries of land or time, no insurmountable obstacles, no foes, no barriers in his hard-fought struggle. His goal is the fraternal unity of all people. Since early youth, he has been the voice of reason and moderation. He has championed true brotherhood of man under the fatherhood of God. He has mediated conflicts and embraced those separated by different creeds.

He has created many organizations to resolve conflict. His approach is to refresh our hopes for world peace with practical applications of cooperation, brotherhood and unity. A united world is his foremost goal. He is a man of constructive, fertile action in so many fields. His true renaissance-like abilities are as multiple and endless as his energy and his drive. In this gathering of democratic leaders of the nations of the world, he carries the torch of liberty.

He has defended religious freedom. He has fought against all forms of racism and discrimination. He has gathered—with his uniqueness, openness and tolerance—people of opposing religious and political thinking to work together for the unity of this beautiful planet.

The underprivileged have heard their defense from his lips and received succor from his generous hands. Minority groups the world over recognize his support. His native Korea has witnessed this patriot’s unflagging efforts to promote the reunification of the peninsula. Devoid of personal ambition and pride, he has served all peoples. His sincerity and devotion are an inspiration to the young and the old. A true teacher, he has already taught three generations.

Rev. Moon is a man of peace and above all a man of God. He preaches that we must place God at the center of our lives and all our endeavors. Only God we honor, and Him we must serve.
