  • 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.

    Last revised: July 14, 2006/ January 7, 2007 (168 pages) 312,9476, = bytes, 1005 KB + Eby’s Bible info Sept. 6, 2003 Special Note: This working outline is not meant to be a definitive statement on Benoni Moon’s family, but can be used as a tool to sort out various facts, potential relationships and family lines. Please do not forward it, as there are too many errors and much speculation, but it may be of help to you. Also, I welcome your comments, suggestions and critique. Sincerely, W. Fred Wickizer [email protected] THE BENONI MOON FAMILY Benoni Moon5 (Robert4,Ebenezer3-2, Robert1 Moon) was born April 12, 17451 probably at Exeter, Rhode Island. He appears to be the youngest son of Robert4 Moon and Ann Tripp. Benoni married first Lois Warren on May 4, 1769 at Brooklyn, Connecticut in Windham County (see Early Connecticut Marriages, As Found In Ancient Church Records Prior to 1800, edited by Fred W. Bailer, Baltimore: Gen. Pub. Co., 1968). Lois was born June 27, 1747 in Woodstock Windham Co, Connecticut (Vital Records of Woodstock, 1686-1854, Hartford, the Case, Lockwood &Brainard Co. 1914). Lois died about 1787/90, probably in North Stephentown, Rensselaer County, New York. The parents of Lois Warren were Nathaniel and Allethea (Bugbee) Warren (see Appendix A). To the union of Nathaniel and Allethea (sometimes Ellethea) Warren were five children, among them Rhoda Warren born March 10, 1764. Although Lois Warren married Benoni, there is a letter of intent at Sturbridge, Worcester, MA that raises several questions. This document entered May 21, 1787 and attested by Joshua Harding, Jr.

  • True Parents' Message and News
    True Parents’ Message and News 天一國 2年(天曆) 7月 AUGUST 2014 English Version ARTICLE ONE FFWPU and UPF: The Two Locomotives Moving Toward the Completion of the Providence By Yang Chang-shik he history of humankind is the history of God’s providence of salvation. Human beings, who lost their true divinity in the beginning of time, cannot easily move toward goodness solely by their own efforts. Consequently, God T sent the Messiah and carried out the work of separating good and evil and of re-creation through God’s word and love. Through this, God guided fallen human be- ings toward goodness by rekindling the flame of their consciences, which barely re- tained man’s original nature from the time of the Creation. True Father came as the true progenitor of humankind. During the ninety-three years of his life, he was constantly full of energy—like an active volcano—for liberating God’s heart, for bringing salva- tion to human beings, who are the descendants of the Fall, and ultimately for creating throughout the universe Cheon Il Guk, the everlasting, ideal world envisaged at the time of the Creation. Even though he came from a tiny nation in the East, his vision and thoughts encompassed the entire world. Despite humble circumstances in his pioneering years, he guided humankind toward an ideal world of freedom, peace, happiness and unification. He raised the beacon of hope, which shone across and beyond the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean, to all five continents and six oceans. After emerging as the True Parent in 1960, he began to clear a path toward the completion of the providence of re-creation.

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.

La notorietà del nome si accompagna però ad una conoscenza inadeguata della sua figura e del suo messaggio e permangono, nella mente dei lettori meno giovani, i ricordi degli attacchi che gli venivano rivolti dalla stampa, soprattutto negli anni ’70 e ’80. Oggi da questo punto di vista la situazione è molto più serena; la stampa sta guardando in modo più obiettivo, con minori preconcetti, al fenomeno Moon. Giunge quindi a proposito questa autobiografia che permette, a chi lo desidera, di conoscere direttamente dalle parole dell’autore chi è, cosa si propone, cosa ha fatto nella sua vita il fondatore della Chiesa dell’Unificazione.

The top private ballet company in Korea celebrated its 30th anniversary and performed in South America for the first time in Bogota, Colombia. Moon also won two awards — the Performing Arts Management Award and the Female Artist of the Year — for her outstanding leadership. The director is modest about her achievements. "The award was not just for me, but I received it on behalf of the UBC," Moon said in an interview with The Korea Times at the Universal Arts Center in eastern Seoul. "We have great dancers and experts in each field, who supplement my weaknesses as a leader." Before taking charge at the UBC, Moon was a professional ballet dancer and one of the first Korean ballerinas to achieve international success. Moon trained at Sun Hwa Arts Julia Moon, director of the Universal Ballet Company, poses for School, London's Royal Ballet a photo at the company's home Universal Arts Center in eastern School and L'Academie de Danse Seoul on Dec. 30.
