The Chambumo-Ron is a theological development within the Family Federation (Unification movement). Often translated as a “Discourse on True Parents” or “True Parents Theory” it refers to a newly developed theological text and framework in the Family Federation that builds on and expands Unification teachings beyond the traditional Divine Principle. It has been compiled and taught especially in the Cheon Il Guk era under the guidance of Hak Ja Han (True Mother).
• It is presented as a theological discourse on the status, meaning, and value of True Parents in Heaven’s providence, focusing on both True Father and True Mother.
• Unlike the Divine Principle, which historically concentrated on God’s providence up to the Second Coming, Chambumo-Ron centers the role of True Parents themselves as the central revelation and subject of doctrine for the current era of Cheon Il Guk.
• The text aims to address earlier theological imbalances, especially the earlier male-centric narratives, by presenting a more inclusive understanding of God’s work and the feminine aspect of divine providence.
• It is framed as a discourse rather than a closed or final dogma—intended to be discussed, studied, and deepened over time within the movement.
In short, Chambumo-Ron represents a developing theology of True Parents that situates them at the heart of God’s plan, reflecting the transition to the Cheon Il Guk era and emphasizing both True Mother’s contributions and the unity of male and female aspects in divine revelation.

2. Message at the Closing Ceremony of the Special Training (March 2024)
This speech, delivered on 7 March 2024 to the leaders of the Heavenly Korea Church, addresses:
The History of Providence: Reflection on Jesus Christ (the Only Son) and Christianity's failure to grasp his essence, which led to errors and the emergence of communism.
Indemnity and the Only Daughter: Explains that the failure of Christianity necessitated the birth of the Only Daughter (Hak Ja Han, in Korea in 1943) for the completion of the providence, in order to correct past errors.
Role of Blessed Families: Emphasises the responsibility of second-generation members (called ‘Pure Water’) to educate and reveal the truth of providence to the world.
