FATHER Opposes the Electoral College

 

On June 6, 1945 ADFD, FATHER DIVINE wrote to Miss Anna M. Betz, Director of the Social Service Department of Harlem Hospital, New York City.  He touched on several issues of importance, including modern religion and the need for Constitutional reform that will abolish the Electoral College and employ technology to institute direct democracy.  Had the United States heeded this direction from GOD ALMIGHTY FATHER DIVINE, it would have been spared the disastrous presidencies of George W. Bush and Donald J. Trump and all the damage and division they have inflicted.

FATHER writes:

“Likewise with Government similar reforms in outmoded customs must be made.  When the colonies became the United States of America, it was necessary, at that time of limited methods of communication, to delegate electorates and to have an electoral college that would cast the final votes.  But now in this day when voting machines are in use in almost every poll and could be installed everywhere, even with transmission wires that could register every vote automatically in any central place in the United States, and with instantaneous communication available through radio, it is time we revised and modernized the equipment of government to facilitate a true democratic election.

“This is only one of the necessary reforms that must come and must be made in the mechanics of Government to insure justice and to keep pace with the advances of science.  If we do not do so, this Government will become as ineffective in reaching the needs of the people as religions have become, because of the unwillingness of the leaders and teachers in the churches and the so-called representatives of GOD, to advance in the knowledge and understanding of the scientific development of creation according to the Plan and Purpose of GOD.”

There are at least 50,000 letters from FATHER DIVINE on file in FATHER DIVINE’s Library and Museum at Woodmont, which are being digitized and cataloged so that these precious, world-guiding Words of GOD will be preserved and accessible to others in perpetuity.  The vast majority of these letters are file carbon copies.  Below is a pdf of the file carbon copy of FATHER’s June 6, 1945 letter to Miss Betz.

Honoring a Perfect Life

Peace, Everyone.

FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE blessed us with a day beautiful in all ways to honor MOTHER at Woodmont on Thursday, March 9, and They saw to each and every detail in the most wonderful ways. We enjoyed warm, springlike conditions and hundreds of people came to share in this joyful celebration of a Perfect Life. There were many expressions of respect, love, generosity, and compassion, and the Woodmont Family is grateful for each and every one. There was and remains an extra measure of Peace, Love and Grace filling the hearts of FATHER and MOTHER’s Family and Friends, and pervading Woodmont. Truly a blessed, exceptional time.  On the following day, FATHER lovingly spread a blanket of snow over the estate, reminding us of MOTHER’s Purity and Virtue, and of the perfect timing and Divine arrangements that have prevailed since MOTHER made Her Transition. 

FATHER and MOTHER are present always, with or without a physical person, and are now even more fully accessible to each and all. FATHER said again and again that He took on the Body only to give us the significance of GOD’s Actual Presence, and He reminded us again and again that in His Truest Eternal State, GOD is INFINITE, Universal, and beyond the Holy Bodies and Personalities that He uses age after age to remind us Who He is and Where we each and all come from. As with Jesus Christ or the Buddha, so with FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE. Their Legacy has only begun to unfold. They are like windows through which we can see the Heaven State of Consciousness, for They embody it and live it out to Perfection. They are mirrors in which we can behold our True Identity as Daughters and Sons of GOD. We can still meet FATHER and MOTHER for the first time, and we can still know Them, grow in Their love, and live our days in Their Sacred Presence, illumined by Their Teachings and Their Example. While there is a time and season for all things under the sun, in the Changeless Divine, nothing essential has changed or ever will.

Below, we have incorporated a document from the day that you may view online or download.

Peace and Love.
