V. Cha: Challenges Facing US-Korea Relations
- Tuesday, February 3, 2009
The alliance between the US and the Republic of Korea (ROK) remains one of the most underrated alliances in the history of international relations today. When the alliance was first formed in 1953, there was no preceding history of interaction (aside from minor commercial exchanges and missionary activities in the 1800s) and no common values as a frame of reference.

O. Alvarez: Peace in the Americas
- Saturday, January 31, 2009
We are in times of crisis. Economic growth has been interrupted and there is a growing recession comparable to the 1929 crisis.

S.M. Moon: Address to the World Summit on Peace, January 2009
- Saturday, January 31, 2009

This is the only way to pass on the lineage of goodness to all of humankind, and the path to achieving God’s ideal of true families.
