List of Unification Church affiliated organizations

There are a number of organizations founded, run, or supported by Sun Myung Moon, the founder of the Unification Church. Commentators have mentioned Moon's belief in a literal Kingdom of God on earth to be brought about by human effort as a motivation for his establishment of groups that are not strictly religious in their purposes.[1][2] Others have said that one purpose of these groups is to pursue social respectability for the church.[3] Together with the church and its members and supporters, these organizations constitute the Unification Movement.

For legal and tax purposes in several countries, various projects inspired or directed by Moon or members of his church are required to maintain existence as separate entities. Under United States federal tax law, 501(c)(3) charitable institutions, like churches, may not engage in certain types of political speech without losing their tax exempt status. As such, Moon, the Unification Church, and members of the church have created organisations such as Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles (CARP) which operate under the less stringent requirements of a 501(c)(4) "non-profit, educational foundation".

Multi-faceted organizations

CARP

The Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles (CARP) is a collegiate organization founded by Moon and church members in 1964.[4][5] Church historian Mike Mickler writes: "The Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles (CARP), founded by church members at Waseda University, Japan, in 1964. began in the United States in November, 1973." [6] J. Isamu Yamamoto states in Unification Church: "At times CARP has been very subtle about its association with the Unification Church, however, the link between the two has always been strong, since the purpose of both is to spread Moon's teachings."[7] Sun Myung Moon's son Hyo Jin Moon was its president for ten years,[8] followed by his younger brother Hyun Jin Moon.[9]

Universal Peace Federation

The Universal Peace Federation[10] (UPF) includes the following organizations and initiatives under its umbrella:

  • Ambassadors for Peace[11]
  • Global Peace Festival, an international series of festivals under the motto: "One Family Under God." [12]
  • International Highway Project[13]
  • Middle East Peace Initiative[14][15]
  • World Summit of Leadership and Governance[16]

Interfaith organizations

  • The Assembly of the World's Religions was founded by Sun Myung Moon. The first assembly was held from November 15 to 21, 1985, in MacAfee, New Jersey. The second was from August 15 to 21, 1990 in San Francisco.[17]
  • Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace[18][19]
  • American Clergy Leadership Conference (ACLC)[20][21][22]

Educational organizations

  • Cheongshim Graduate School of Theology[23]
  • International Conference on the Unity of the Sciences
  • New World Encyclopedia — an online encyclopedia that, in part, selects and rewrites certain Wikipedia articles through a focus on Unification values.[24] It "aims to organize and present human knowledge in ways consistent with our natural purposes."[25]
  • The Professors World Peace Academy was founded in 1973 by Sun Myung Moon,[26] who declared the group's intent to "contribute to the solutions of urgent problems facing our modern civilization and to help resolve the cultural divide between East and West". PWPA now has chapters in over one hundred countries.[27]
  • Sun Hwa Arts School
  • Sun Moon University[28]
  • Sun Myung Moon Institute[29]

  • New Hope Academy—Landover Hills, Maryland, USA. "Although New Hope Academy was founded in 1990 by members of the Unification faith, it is not a sectarian school. No doctrines are taught; in fact, no classes in religion are offered. We believe it is the job of parents—with the support of their church, temple, or mosque—to impart their personal faith to their child." [33][34]

  • Korean Cultural Freedom Foundation, a nonprofit organization which in the 1970s acted as a propaganda campaign in the United States for the Republic of Korea[58]
  • National Committee Against Religious Bigotry and Racism[59]

Businesses

The Unification Church and church members own a number of businesses in various countries. In Eastern Europe Unification Church missionaries are using the church's business ties to win new converts.[62] David Bromley, a sociologist at Virginia Commonwealth University, said: "The corporate section is understood to be the engine that funds the mission of the church. The wealth base is fairly substantial. But if you were to compare it to the Mormon Church or the Catholic Church or other churches that have massive landholdings, this doesn't look on a global scale like a massive operation."[63]

  • AmericanLife TV cable television network formerly owned by the Unification Church.[64]
  • Cheongshim Hospital, Korean hospital.[65]
  • Ilwha Company, South Korean based producer of ginseng and related products.[66]

  • University of Bridgeport of Bridgeport, Connecticut.[101] In 1992, following the longest faculty strike in United States academic history, the University of Bridgeport agreed to an arrangement with the Professors World Peace Academy whereby the university would be subsidized by PWPA in exchange for control of the university. The initial agreement was for $50 million, and a majority of board members were to be PWPA members.[102] The next University of Bridgeport president was PWPA president and holocaust theologian Richard L. Rubenstein (from 1995–1999),[103] and subsequently former U.S. Unification Church president Neil Albert Salonen (2000–present).[104][105]

In 1969 we were just scratching the surface. Today Moon's organization is in a position of vastly increased power and prestige. Through the Freedom Leadership Foundation and it's descendant CAUSA, Moon has won the gratitude and respect of many congressmen and senators, not to mention former presidents Nixon, Reagan and Bush."
