HOON SOOK NIM: *

Q: “Is there is anything you could say for younger people growing up in our movement?”

A: Growing up in the church in the second-generation is very difficult because it was your parents, rather than you, who made the decision to join the church. So growing up in the second generation you have to make that choice for yourself. Being in the church and pursuing a life of faith has to be your decision.

Sometimes second-gens can take Divine Principle and what we learn in our life of faith for granted, because they have never experienced the turmoil of not knowing the truth, not knowing why there is so much pain and suffering in the world, not knowing whether or not there is a God, not knowing whether spirit world exists. Of course, within the church, there are situations that may not be ideal, because we are still in the process of restoration, so you may think there is something better elsewhere and you may go looking for it.

But if you stray too far, you can lose what you had to begin with. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't look. You should look because the more you look, the better you will understand the value of what you already have. You will know it for yourself, not because your parents told you so. You have to own your choice, your decision. I think that's very important for second-gens. The first thing is to own what you believe in. The second thing is to be an example in your life. That in itself is a testimony to True Parents.
