Jeffrey K. Hadden Department of Sociology University of Virginia Lecture: Unification Church Lecture Outline: Reverend Sun Myung Moon and His Movement Unification Beliefs The Future of the Movement Part I The Reverend Moon and His Movement The Unification Church (officially, The Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity) was founded in 1954 by Young Myung Moon in Pusan, South Korea. Moon, who changed his name to Sun Myung Moon (meaning "someone who has clarified the Truth, or Shining Sun and Moon) has a vision of Jesus when he was 16 years old. In that visit, he was advised that he had been choosen to fullfill the mission of Jesus. He was a prisoner of war during the Korean War. After the war, he walked from North Korea, where he had been inprisioned, to Pusan in the Southeast where he took up his ministry. There are several good sources that detail the early life of Reverend Moon and his church. For class, we will view a short videotape (12:30 min) produced by the Unification Chruch entitled "The Great Victory of the True Parents." While this video obviously presents Reverend Moon from the Church perspective, it is well done and conveys a basic overview of one of the more successful new faith traditions of the second half of the twentieth centruy. For a history of the movement in its early years, see:

Jesus said: "If you continue in My word...you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." ( John 8:31-32) New Covenant Publications is part of the counter-cult ministry of Blood Covenant Church (so-called because of its emphasis on salvation by grace through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ Eph. 1:7, Matt. 26:28, Eph. 2:8-9, Rom. 3:25 New Covenant Publications seeks to help and restore those who have been hurt by cults and/or cult-like abusive groups. It also seeks to inform the public and the Christian community of the deceptions and abusive or exploitive practices of such groups. Our primary emphasis at this time is the Unification Church and The International Churches of Christ aka The "Boston Movement". Articles / tracts concerning the Unification Church: Is Rev.

Sites Theologically, the Unification Church is, at best, a cult of Christianity . It's long history of church-ordained deception, including deceptive recruitment practices makes it a cult according to sociological standards as well. Followers are commonly referred to as the Moonies (after the cult's founder and leader, Sun Myung Moon ). Some followers object to the name, claiming it is meant as an insult. However, the name was coined and used by members of the Unification Church itself. Speaking of insults, though: true Christians consider Sun Myung Moon's outrageous comments about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to be blasphemous and insulting. In the opinion of the publisher of Apologetics Index, Moon's 'Messianic' fantasies and delusions of grandeur (''Lord of the Universe'') can only be considered evindence of religious insanity. The Bible identifies people like Sun Myung Moon and his minions as servants of Satan: Currently the Unification Church goes by the name "Association of Families for Unification and World Peace," or "Family Federation for World Peace and Unification."

Discussion revoled around the theology of "Heavenly Deception" and Moon's desire to create a One World Theocracy, or government ruled by religious authority, which Moon believes he and his descendants are destined to rule. Moon's 50-state U.S. tour continues, but not without protest. I was a guest on a large Christian Radio station in Milwaukee , which has taken the lead in exposing the heresies and lies of Moon's teachings and along with several local Pastors. They are encouraging clergy not to allow Moon to speak in their churches. They have successful encouraged one church against allowing Moon to speak there, and Moon's people had to change the location to a hotel ballroom. When the media asked the Unification Church about it, they claimed there had been a bomb threat. The media checked with all local authorities and NO BOMB THREAT had been reported. Possibly more "Heavenly Deception" which allows members of Moon's church to lie and deceive, as long as it is for a "good" purpose. Additionally, it has been reported that a Pastor in Mobile, Alabama was fired for allowing Moon to speak in his church. Moon's teachings and beliefs are contrary to scripture and his influence is like a cancer slowly spreading through the Christian churches. Moon has apparently been passing out Gift Certificates for hand-crafted

From the Unification Church to the Unification Movement, 1994-1999: Five Years of Dramatic Changes By Massimo Introvigne - An expanded version of this paper will be part of Massimo Introvigne’s book "The Unification Church", to be published in the series "Studies in Contemporary Religion" by Signature Books At the level of the canonical texts, a color-coded version of Wolli Kangron (the "exposition of the Divine Principle"), was published on September 30, 1994, and became the primary standard reference until November 1,1997. At that latter date the Reverend Moon began the tradition of Hoon Dok Hae, including a daily study session in the morning, for which excerpts from his sermons were prepared, and regarded as "complementary expression of the Completed Testament Word," together with the Wolli Kangron. Another relevant change saw the Reverend and Mrs. Moon shift the focus of their activity from North America to South America. In numerous speeches the Reverend Moon referred to North America as the equivalent of the Protestant North Europe and Latin America of the Catholic Southern Europe. The Reverend Moon claims to support the "greater unification" of the Americas before attention can shift towards Europe and Africa. There has been greater missionary activity in Latin America and considerable financial investment in Uruguay. This has alarmed the Catholic church in some countries. There have been campaigns in the Latin American media, for example, to ban foreign Unificationist missionaries.

C HRISTIAN A R ESEARCH M INISTRY www.carm.org HOME PAGE The Unification Church Also known as the Moonies Founder : The Rev. Sun Myung Moon in 1954. Born Jan. 6, 1920 in Korea. Headquarters : Korea Membership : approximately 3 million worldwide. Origins Divine Principles . He went to North Korea to preach and was imprisoned in 1946. In April of 1948 he was again sentenced to longer 5 year sentence in Hungnam. In 1950 he was liberated from the prison by the Americans involved in the Korean War. On May 1, 1954, in Seoul, Moon founded the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity. In 1958 he sent missionaries to Japan and in 1959 to America. Moon moved to the United States in 1971. He has been invited to the White house and spoken to Congress. Practices: Mass weddings. In August of 1992 in Seoul Korea, Moon presided over a mass wedding of 30,00 couples. Teachings : Moon claims to be the messiah of the Second Coming and his wife is the Holy Spirit. He and his wife, called The True Parents where he is the True Father and his wife the True Mother, are the first couple to be able to bring forth children with no original sin. "The cross is the symbol of the defeat of Christianity." The Bible is considered scripture along with Moon’s work "Divine Principles." Sin is genetically based. It is not a moral issue. The thieves on the cross represent political movements. The thief on the right side of Jesus represents democracy. The thief on the left of Jesus is communism. Adam and Eve fell because of sexual sin. Eve had sexual relations with Satan. Jesus is a ‘true person’ though not God in flesh. The Holy Spirit is ‘the True Mother,’ or ‘the Second Eve." The church denies the doctrine of the Trinity.

Reverend Moon " The Dark side of the Moon" The wedding blessing pt.1 Reverend Moon has drawn over 2 million people to his weddings since 1995. On August 25, 1992 in Seoul's Olympic Stadium, The Reverend Sun Myung Moon "blessed" 30,000 couples at one time. 20,000 were present in the stadium and 10,000 via satellite. Rev. Moon's latest episode of his gospel was marrying 30,000 at one time in couples in Washington RFK stadium. These public wedding ceremonies began on July 1, 1982 when Sun Myung Moon and his wife Hak Ja Han married, 2,075 couples at one time at Madison Square Garden, New York City. At the time the reaction was not favorable from those who respect the marriage ceremony. Having a non personal marriage just didn't sit right with most people. However, that was then. Since gaining media coverage it has become widely accepted and even sought after. As a superstitious blessing accompanies this rite from the Rev. So many who cannot be present are blessed to participate in a mass wedding ceremony through satellite linkup. Moon has said of his marriage ceremonies
