Implications of God as “Heavenly Parent”

HJI was pleased to co-host a special program with the Higher Purpose Forum (HPF) on Saturday, March 2 at 5 PM ET.

We discussed a topic of central religious importance: understanding the feminine/maternal aspect of God. HJI Co-founder Hak Ja Han Moon affirms that the term “Heavenly Parent” reflects more fully God’s ontological role as both our father and our mother. Our speakers address the implications of this semantic, conceptual, and relational progression.

HPF Director James Edgerly will introduce this engaging topic, followed by Barbara Robertson, Associate Chaplain at Vassar Brothers Medical Center, and Justin Okamoto Head Pastor of the Belvedere Family Community, who will speak on the topic Implications of God as “Heavenly Parent”. Kaeleigh Moffitt, President of Women’s Federation for World Peace USA will be the respondent.
