A signifant contrast can be seen when compared with the SIFC building across the street, which is showing smooth progress with several stories up already. The City of Seoul reached an agreement in 2005 with an overseas financial institution to begin the construction of the SIFC on the city owned lot and designated Yeouido as a 'Global Financial Center' in February of this year. SIFC and Parc 1 function as essential landmarks of this international financial center. The 56 story SIFC and 72 story Parc 1 were destined to become the new skyscrapers of Seoul. The reason the construction stopped as of November, 2010 is the result of a dispute between the land owner and the superficiary. The original owner of the land is the “Support Foundation for the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity” (hereinafter referred to as the Unification Church Foundation), is the owner of this piece of land and signed a contract with Y22 Finance Investment in May of 2005, which gave Y22 a 99 year term for control over the superficies.

  • Soccer Fans Thank Father Sun Myung Moon and Mother Hak Ja Han Moon for Being Generous Supporters
    Soccer fans thank Father Sun Myung Moon and Mother Hak Ja Han Moon for being generous supporters John Haydon August 2014 Sports Writer, the Washington Times From the book Peace King and adapted in honor of the anniversary of Sun Myung Moon's Seonghwa The great Brazilian soccer player Pelé once called it "the beautiful game." Rev. Sun Myung Moon called the sport the "game of peace," for soccer, motivated in the right way, has the power to bring harmony in a troubled world. Those of us who follow the game of soccer would like to thank Father Moon and Mother Moon for being true benefactors and generous supporters of the world's most popular game. They invested time, effort and substantial funds to lead soccer in a new direction as a catalyst for peace and unification. Although Father Moon was a very busy man, working on numerous projects to bring world peace, he took time out to invest in soccer and the world is a better place for that. John Haydon While the FIFA World Cup is the largest single-sport event in the world, its motivation and purpose is ultimately a commercial venture focusing on individual national interests. Father Moon created soccer tournaments that promote peace and encourages soccer clubs, and those involved in the game, to go beyond their individual interests and help serve others in the wider community. His aim was to make the sport a vehicle for bringing peace and inspiring young people to live for the greater good. In this sense, Father and Mother Moon are forerunners in championing soccer's potential for bringing about world unity beyond individual club and national interests.

    GOD’S IDEAL FAMILY AND PEACE KINGDOM Blessing the Family, the Nation and the World Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon and Family 120 Nation Tour United States and Canada April 28 – May 10, 2006 [ 1 ] [ 2 ] INTRODUCTION While on the one hand, history often seems ordinary and routine, with days flowing by one after the other, there are turning points in history. Within any given life, for example, there can be significant, life-transforming moments. Sometimes these are called “rites of passage.” Many times a single moment in a person’s life can be of profound and lasting significance. For example, a seemingly chance meeting with another person can form the basis for tragedy or good fortune. The outcome depends not only on the circumstances and nature of the oppor- tunity, but on our ability to see clearly, recognize what needs to be done, and take the right course of action. I believe with absolute conviction that we stand at the most critical juncture ever to befall the human commu- nity. The entire world is truly standing on the threshold of an age of peace. The hope of all ages, for a unified world of peace, is about to be realized. The day of its arrival depends on us. Rev Chung Hwan Kwak, Chairman, Universal Peace Federation Welcome! We’re so grateful and happy that you’ve come here today to share with us this profound and historical occa- sion. It is our sincere prayer and confident expectation that we will receive a special blessing from Heaven today, and that God in his mercy and love will bring all of us several steps closer to the kingdom of harmony and peace.

  • Volume XV - (2014) Continuity and Innovation: the Last Year's of Rev
    Volume XV - (2014) Continuity and Innovation: The last Year's of Rev. Moon's Ministry, 2009-2012 WRITTEN BY MICHAEL L. MICKLER Journal of Unification Studies Vol. 15, 2014 - Pages 27-50 Note: This article is taken from the author's forthcoming History of the Unification Movement in the Early Twenty-First Century: The Cheon Il Guk Era, 2000-2013. The Unification Movement (UM) experienced unprecedented turmoil during the last years of Rev. Moon’s ministry. The movement had encountered significant external opposition before. However, from 2009, it was racked by intra-movement conflict that pitted members against one another. Lawsuits over UM assets, ongoing on three continents, were an expression of this.[1] Apart from litigation, there were disagreements about the UM’s core identity and mission. Previously, the wellspring of movement inspiration filtered exclusively through the prism of Rev. Moon. However, prior to the last years of his ministry, he had offloaded major responsibilities to three of his adult sons and one daughter who assumed leadership roles. They implemented new ministries, new interpretations of theological doctrines, and new models of the church.[2] As a result, inspiration refracted through new prisms and went in new directions. At the same time, the UM’s core ministry continued to be that of Rev. Moon. During the years covered in this article, from 2009 until his passing in 2012, he did not alter his approach to ministry in response to movement turmoil, his children’s emerging ministries or his advanced age and physical decline.[3] In fact, he maintained a daily schedule that taxed attendants to the point that they had to work in rotations in order to keep pace.
