Reverend Sun Myung Moon

Reverend Sun Myung Moon (1920-2012) was a Korean religious leader and the founder of the Unification Church, known for its unique teachings that combine elements of Christianity with Eastern philosophies. He promoted the concept of "heavenly families" and the idea of a "True Parents" role, believing that through marriage and family unity, spiritual salvation could be achieved. Moon was also a businessman and political activist, involved in numerous initiatives advocating for peace and interfaith dialogue. His controversial practices, including mass weddings, garnered media attention and criticism, but he left a lasting influence on new religious movements and global discussions on faith.
