this small presentation gives a brief part of an important speech given by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon in Yankee Stadium in 1976. The speech calls upon theTrue American people, those "who believe in the one family of humankind, transcendent of color and nationality as willed by God", to revive the founding spirit of the nation and bring back God to our homes, and churches. "America must return to Godism, an absolutely God-centered ideology."

American Nation

2. It is most important that we know whether the United
States of America was conceived by God or not. Ladies and
gentleman, it is my firm belief that the United States of
America was indeed conceived by God.
There were two kinds of people among your forefathers.
One kind came to this land seeking wealth. The others
came to this land seeking God and freedom. They dreamed
of building a new nation centered upon God.

5. If (those seeking wealth)
had become the
mainstream of America,
there would have been far
greater strife, division,
and struggle between the
different races and
national groups. The
United States would have
been filled with
unrighteousness and
injustice.
Self-centered Ancestors
