A core task of establishing a unified world of peace is that of establishing a language shared by all members of the one human family. Neither English nor Chinese is likely to surrender or capitulate to the other in the global competition for a universal language. In such a context, Korean, the native tongue of the True Parents of Humankind and of the King and Queen of Peace, emerges as an attractive and fully viable alternative whose adoption can be keyed to the global blessed families learning to read Unification scripture in its original language, Korean.
