Former U.S. Vice-President Dan Quayle, in welcoming guests to Assembly 2001, E“Global Violence: Crisis and Hope,” told participants that they were going to take part in “an extraordinary meet- ing with some very extraordinary peo- ple.” By the end of the four-day gath- ering, convened at the New York Hilton from October 19-22, few disagreed. Dr. Thomas Walsh, Secretary Gen- eral of the Interreligious and Inter- national Federation for World Peace (IIWWP), one of the two sponsoring bodies, congratulated the 380 politi- cal and religious leaders, media and NGO representatives, scholars and peace activists from 101 nations for their “courage” in coming to New York. In his welcoming remarks, Dr. Walsh singled out Assembly 2001 Co-Chair Dr. Rodrigo Carazo, former President of Costa Rica, for his efforts to assure that the meeting be convened despite the tragic circumstances of Septem- ber 11, 2001 which placed it in jeop- True Father addressing the opening ardy of being canceled. events which took place in New York and that “solutions are not simply of plenary session of Congress 2001 Originally, the Assembly was to con- City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsyl- a political or military nature.” He empha- sist of two concurrently run confer- vania on September 11, the two con- sized that “family breakdown leads to ences.

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.

    The Current Situation: Chung Hwan Kwak and Hyun Jin Nim’s Positions in Light of the Principle ■ Introduction: True Parents’ Viewpoint of the Current Situation 1. Unprecedented challenges have occurred over the last 18 months leading up to the historic completion of Cheon il Guk on January 13, 2013. 2. Chung Hwan Kwak’s family and Hyun Jin nim took control of UCI and key areas of the providence, beginning with the Washington Times in 2009. 3. True Parents’ wishes and directions have repeatedly been neglected and the will of the worldwide Unification Movement has been ignored. 4. There has been continued disobedience of True Parents’ instructions, including the carrying out of GPF events in Nepal, Korea, Indonesia, Paraguay and soon in Kenya. 5. True Parents have directed that the current situation must be explained and understood from a principled and providential perspective. ■ Hyung Jin Nim’s Guidance to Worldwide Church Leadership 1. According to Father, Chung Hwan Kwak, in the position of fallen Lucifer, has betrayed True Parents and is controlling Hyun Jin Nim, who is in the position of fallen Adam. 2. True Parents are in pain, having invested so much in Rev. Kwak. They are undergoing God’s situation at the time of the Fall, where Lucifer betrayed God at the last moment. 3. Rev. Kwak has been influencing Hyun Jin Nim to leave and betray True Parents and go toward Rev. Kwak’s family. Rev. Kwak’s family members are involved in this. 4. If we truly love Hyun Jin Nim and want him to return to True Parents, we must speak up and testify about what is going on at this final moment of history.

  • The Unificationist Funerary Tradition
    religions Article The Unificationist Funerary Tradition Lukas Pokorny Department of Religious Studies, University of Vienna, 1010 Vienna, Austria; [email protected] Received: 22 April 2020; Accepted: 17 May 2020; Published: 20 May 2020 Abstract: This paper explores the distinctive funerary tradition of the Unification Movement, a globally active South Korean new religious movement founded in 1954. Its funerary tradition centres on the so-called Seonghwa (formerly Seunghwa) Ceremony, which was introduced in January 1984. The paper traces the doctrinal context and the origin narrative before delineating the ceremony itself in its Korean expression, including its preparatory and follow-up stages, as well as its short-lived adaptation for non-members. Notably, with more and more first-generation adherents passing away—most visibly in respect to the leadership culminating in the Seonghwa Ceremony of the founder himself in 2012—the funerary tradition has become an increasingly conspicuous property of the Unificationist lifeworld. This paper adds to a largely uncharted area in the study of East Asian new religious movements, namely the examination of their distinctive deathscapes, as spelled out in theory and practice. Keywords: Unification Church; funeral; death; ritual; new religious movement; Korea; East Asia 1. Introduction “‘Death’ is a sacred word. It is not a major expression for sorrow and pain. [ ::: ] The moment one enters the spiritual world is a time that one enters a world of joy and victory with the earthly life having blossomed, the fruits borne, and the grain ladled. It is a moment we [i.e., those staying behind] should rejoice. It should be a time when we celebrate wholeheartedly.

    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.

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.

  • Sun Myung Moon November 17, 1974
    Matching the couples Suppose I give a girl of small stature a big giant? I had the even experience of matching a German girl to an Englishman, though they couldn 't speak each other's language. They even had to most wonderful use an interpreter in their courtship. That was a thing to do. Just imagine: the baby of one American girl will have black, almond-shaped eyes, and the baby of one ofthe Japanese girls will have blue eyes. Isn't that wonderful? When an Oriental girl embraces her blue-eyed child, then it means she is embracing world. When an girl America, embracing the Western American Oriental it means she is embraces a baby with dark eyes, in her arms. And in this you cannot embracing the whole Orient way stand apart from the Western world or apart from the Eastern world. This will be the proof that you have become one with the opposite world. Sun Myung Moon November 17, 1974 674 1PU Rehearsing the ceremony February 7, 1975 Yourjob is to make your spouse happier than you, without his or her being conscious of it, and then you can express your happiness. You may think, "Since I'm married, I have to be well-dressed. I have to use earrings, rings, necklaces, and new clothes to decorate " myself. Before you do that, you must be able to have your spouse glitter and shine; that's the way you should help each other. In our ideology, when you are made into couples, you must become one. Then with the magnetic power of love operating in your family, you can attract other families and end the disunity in other families.
