Rev. Moon's Unification Church While other leaders talk of “family values,” Rev. Moon creates them. Rev. Moon have done more for the cause of inter-faith dialogue than any religion or government.
The Unification Church, the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification was founded by Sun Myung Moon in 1954 in Korea. Moon's church attracted attention in the U.S. when he began establishing churches in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Berkeley. Just 40 years later wee see how great, positive impact they had on our American society.
Members of the religious organization came to be called "Moonies" and were proud of it. They followed Moon's beliefs known as the Divine Principle. It offered revolutionary solutions to historic theological problems dividing Christianity for centuries. Moon's teachings proved to be bringing the most powerful revolution of heart and conscience that no one was able to spark before.
In contrast to the free sex culture, Dr. Moon was marrying members in mass marriages. In a wounded world, racked with divorce and distrust, they devoted to move towards the establishment of culture of God centered healing marriages.
As the Professor of Religion, Cromwell Crawford wrote, "While other leaders talk of “family values,” Rev. Moon creates them... As a scholar in the field of Comparative Religion, I find it safe to say that there are few, if any, who have done more for the cause of inter-faith dialogue than Rev. Moon. "

Isn't it admirable that followers of Rev. Moon believe, each and every child should be loved by true and loving parents; that every home should be filled with peace, love and harmony. But beyond that, they believe the world should also become "One United Family" under God as our Parent. They believe that for True Love there is no barriers; religious, national, racial or cultural. Love can resolve all human problems and this love should start through Revolution of Heart and Love within the family.
It is only natural that according to the organization, "Reverend and Mrs. Moon have succeeded in becoming the first True Parents, having established a God-centered family and lineage."
"Who can comprehend the sorrowful, painful heart of God?", asks Rev. Moon. "From the Fall God lost His lineage, lost His children, and was forced to hand over the ownership of the nations and world to Satan." History was dominated by selfishness, free sex and distrust that didn't live space for God's presence in our relationships.
According to Sun Myung Moon the wedding ceremony should "alleviate God’s grief caused by the fall of Adam and Eve". When couples of enemy nations, enemy races and enemy religions join in love, history of resentment and pain will be resolved once and forever. The future generations will not carry the barriers from the past in their hearts.

The Unification Church quickly came under fire for its anti-communist work. The founder of the Unification Church, Dr. Sun Myung Moon is known for his key role in the fall of Communism. "If Rev. Moon had not established the Washington Times in 1982, many more problems would have occurred in the Western world", testifies Mr. Oyamada.
With the publication of the Washington Times a new confrontation began in the United States. All the criminal and violent activities of the communists which had been covered up by the liberal press began to be investigated and exposed. Thus, Moon's paper, the Washington Times, played the key role in ending Communism.
Christianity however was confused, disunited and quickly coming under the manipulations of the atheistic communist agendas. Communist countries were even allowed by the west to infiltrate the United Nations. The World Council of Churches became an instrument of the communist propaganda. Rev. Moon was in fact the only hope for saving this confused world.
As could be well expected, the church of Rev. Moon came soon under vicious attacks. The "Moonies" were so falsely accused and bombarded by manipulated negativity, that hundreds of former members were actually put under high-pressure brainwashing by the so called "Anti-cult" fanatics. Of course majority did not succumb to this pressure, so "Anti-cult" activists used drugs and torture. They kept members under long confinement in the desperate attempt to brainwash them against the church. But only in few cases they succeeded and surely their evil will not stay unpunished. Once this was discovered court decision stopped their evil practices.
Anti-Cult fanatics spread the accusations of "sect's secret teachings", "members' brainwashing". The truth was that they used brainwashing techniques to create ex-Moonies. Their evil purpose was to spread the argument that the Unification Church is, in fact, a cult group. The Unification Church at the same time was investing all its energy to save the world from the growing Communist threat.
If one has sincere heart and wants to know the true facts, next time you see the billboards set up at the entrance to campus advertised seminars and evening programs by members of the Family Federation, stop and hear them. "We create community networks of couples committed to each other," a flyer read. "The Family Federation calls all couples to rededicate their marriage in the love of God."
