  • The Legacy of Unification Political Theology
    The Legacy of Unification Political Theology Dan Fefferman August 28, 2017 "Political theology" investigates the ways in which theological concepts relate to politics, society and economics. In this article, I examine the ways in which the expression of the political theology of the Unification Movement has evolved since its early days, especially in the U.S. From its beginning, Unificationism has had to deal with tensions between its vision of One World Under God and its commitment to ridding the world of threats to that vision, especially that of communism. This tension led to various alliances in the political world that have impacted the Unificationist community significantly and remain unresolved today. Victory Over Communism From the 1960s through early 1980s, the expression of Unification political theology in the public realm was largely focused on "Victory Over Communism." The movement's commitment to world unity transcending race and nationality was prominent in its spiritual and evangelical work, but took a back seat to VOC in terms of activism. Dan Fefferman Divine Principle (DP) itself provides the rationale for giving priority to VOC: "The Third World War is the final conflict in the providence of restoration. Through this war, God intends that the democratic world bring the communist world to submission and build the ideal world… [W]hether the Third World War is waged by force of arms or as an ideological conflict depends upon the responsibility of the people…serving the providence of God…. [I]t is inescapable that this worldwide conflict take place." Reflecting this imperative, Rev. Sun Myung Moon founded the International Federation for Victory Over Communism in 1969 as a major ideological offensive.

    Unification Church of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Unification_Church_of_th... Unification Church of the United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Unification Church of the United States is a new religious movement in the United States of America. It began in the 1950s and 1960s when missionaries from Japan and South Korea were sent to the United States by the international Unification Church's founder and leader Sun Myung Moon. It expanded in the 1970s and then became involved in controversy due to its theology, its political activism, and the life style of its members. Since then it has been involved in many areas of American society and has itself gone through substantial changes. Contents 1 Early history 2 Political involvement The New Yorker Hotel, 3 Criticism, opposition, and controversy purchased by the Unification 3.1 "Moonie" Church of the United States 4 Changes in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s in 1976 and now the site of 5 Church presidents national church headquarters 6 Military service offices. 7 Neologisms 8 References 9 External links Early history In the late 1950s and early 1960s Unification Church missionaries were sent from South Korea and Japan to the United States in order to establish the church there. Among them were Young Oon Kim, Sang Ik-Choi, Bo Hi Pak, David S. C. Kim, and Yun Soo Lim. Missionary work took place in Washington D.C., New York, Oregon, and California.[1] The church first came to public notice in the United States after sociology student John Lofland studied Young Oon Kim's group and published his findings as a doctoral thesis entitled: The World Savers: A Field Study of Cult Processes , which was published in 1966 in book form by Prentice-Hall as Doomsday Cult: A Study of Conversion, Proselytization, and Maintenance of Faith.

By that time, Moon and the Unification Church (UC) had generated controversy throughout the United States over a variety of issues. Many Americans were distressed by the recruitment techniques of the UC. Others questioned the failure of the UC to state openly its ties with the numerous groups it had set up; the use to which it 312 put its tax-exempt status; the propriety of its owning and operating an armaments plant in South Korea; possible links to the South Korean Government; and Moon's statements in late 1973 and 1974 concerning President Nixon and Watergate. The most volatile controversy raged around the charges that "Moonies" were brainwashed. The UC in turn countercharged that parents were kidnaping UC members for "deprogramming" and successfully obtained court orders restricting the activities of the deprogrammers.

  • Chapter 25 Dan Fefferman, Berkeley, California, 1968
    TRIBUTE Dan Fefferman, Berkeley, California, 1968 •• I joined the "Unified Family" in November 1968. Like many early members I had been strongly prepared. I came from a secular Jewish family but began searching for God when I moved from Los Angeles to Berkeley to attend the University of California in 1967. I was a musician as well as a student. I first experienced God directly while listening to George Harrison's "Within You, Without You" from the Sergeant Pepper album. A few months later, on my 19th birthday, I had a powerful experience with Jesus, sharing his Passion. I studied the works of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and listened to the recorded sermons of the great preacher, C.L. Franklin, Aretha Franklin's father. On New Year's Day, 1968, the first God's Day, I was meditating in my room and had a vision in which key parts of the Divine Principle were revealed to me. The spirit world introduced me to my Spiritual Master, whom I sensed was the Messiah of this Age. I knew I was des­ tined to meet this man in the flesh, but it would take nine months of desperate searching until my spiritual mother, Helen Ireland Subre­ nat, finally met me one evening on the Berkeley campus. I heard the Principle over the next few days and moved in at the end of the week. We used to sing a lot back in those days. We sang before every meal, plus prayer meetings, evening programs, and Sunday services. I started writing songs fairly regularly.

    SCHISM in the Unification Church By Dan Fefferman, International Coalition for Religious Freedom Email – [email protected] Presented to the 2016 CESNUR Conference July 5 – 10, 2016, Daejin University, Republic of Korea Preliminary version. Please do not reproduce or quote without the consent of the author. This will be an update of my earlier paper, presented to the CENSUR conference in 2012.1 There have been major developments since then, beginning with the death of the UC’s founder. The initial schism in the Unification Movement began in 2008 when Rev. Moon’s then heir-apparent, Hyun Jin Moon, split from the main group after he was passed over in favor of the youngest son, Hyung Jin.2 After Rev. Moon passed away, Mrs. Moon took on the mantle of leadership, and since then the youngest son has formed a third faction. This paper will compare and 1 http://www.cesnur.org/2012/el-fefferman.docx 2 The names of the Moon children are often hard for non-Koreans to follow. Hyun Jin, the older son, is often called Preston.

Sun Myung Moon, the founder and Messiah of the Unification Church, passed away on September 3, 2012. His funeral took place at the Church’s major complex in Cheong Pyeong on September 15 of that year. (The current CESNUR conference will have a field trip to the Cheong Pyeong site two days from now.) He was succeeded by his wife, Hak Ja Han Moon, who together with him shares the title of True Parents.

Its existence and popularity are a global phenomenon, interesting not only for sociologists of religion but for politicians, philosophers and people of faith. The impact of this movement and the two-way social change remain a rare subject of study and this paper aims to fill the gaps and to discuss contemporary situation in regards to its followers.
