This text is a chapter-by-chapter summary of “Chambumo Gyeong – Book 5. Expansion of the Providential Foundation and the Annual Mottoes,” a Unificationist text written by Sun Myung Moon, founder of the Unification Church.

The book describes the Unification Church’s development from its early days in Korea, focusing on the period from 1960, the year of Moon’s marriage to Hak Ja Han, through to the early 2000s.

Key themes covered include:

• Church Expansion: The book details the establishment of churches and affiliated organizations like the Seonghwa Youth Association, the Students’ Association, and the Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles (CARP).
• Seven-Year Courses: It explains Moon’s concept of seven-year courses, which represent stages in God’s providential plan, and how each course, from the restoration of individuals and the nation, to the establishment of the “kingdom of heaven on earth,” was achieved.
• The Divine Principle: The book discusses the development of the Divine Principle, the Unification Church’s core doctrine, and its role in outreach, education, and anti-communism campaigns.
• Holy Days: It details the proclamation of significant holy days like the Day of the Resurrection of Heart, Parents’ Day, Children’s Day, the Day of All Things, and God’s Day, explaining their significance within the Unificationist framework.
• Cheongpyeong Holy Ground: The book covers the selection and development of the Cheongpyeong Holy Ground in South Korea, which serves as the headquarters for the Unification Church and a model community for a “heavenly kingdom on earth.”
• Annual Mottoes: Finally, it provides a list of annual mottoes that Moon proclaimed each year, outlining the goals and directions for the church.

The text presents a strong sense of providential mission and the importance of the Unification Church in fulfilling God’s plan for humanity’s restoration. It emphasizes Moon’s leadership and guidance, and the dedication of Unification Church members in pursuing their shared goal of achieving a world united under God’s dominion.
