Marriage. Family. Sexuality. There are many different opinions and perspectives about each of these topics—and the university has become a hotbed to converse about them.
CARP has our perspectives on them as well. And to sharpen our thoughts on them, a few representatives spent a weekend in Princeton, New Jersey from October 28th to 29th for an annual conference hosted by the Love & Fidelity Network (LFN) called Sexuality, Integrity, and the University (SIU).
“Principles to Live By” began as a six-week virtual seminar during 2020, when a group of pastors and young people wished to present the first chapter of the Divine Principle through presentations and discussion groups. Pastors Catherine Ono, Heather Thalheimer, Joe Young, Sunhyun Miller and his dad Professor Wayne Miller, and CARP Boston President Luc Jean all wished to present the Divine Principle through practical, daily applications.
On Oct 22nd, CARP DMV organized an overnight hiking trip in the beautiful Shenandoah mountains. The intention behind this trip was to connect with our guests and the local high school youth in nature, God’s creation.

It was a great success!
