Talk:Family Federation for World Peace and Unification

Reason for name change?

Did Rev. Moon happen to say why he changed the name? Martin

Is a citation possible for this?

It would be nice to have a citation (if it's possible to get one) for this accurate information which was removed from the article:

• In the late 1980s, the Grand Mufti of Syria and a contingent of his followers traveled to New York for a six-week in-depth study of Moon's teaching, in an effort toward inter-faith exchange and understanding. Chung Hwan Kwak then decided to back out of the agreement, which would have sent a similar number of Unificationists to Syria to study Islam.

This fact was probably not recorded in any written form at the time. -Exucmember 06:39, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

This item would be better in the UC article, or even in a new article Unification Church and Islam. Steve Dufour (talk) 14:26, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Given that this would seem to be out of character for a senior Muslim cleric, I would suggest that WP:V#Exceptional claims require exceptional sources would apply. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk 15:57, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Merge

I think that this article should be merged to Unification Church. Both are talking about the same institution, and the name "Unification Church" is much more well-known. Redddogg (talk) 13:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

• Agree -- a simple organisational rename (without split or similar upheaval) generally doesn't give rise to a second article. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk 15:46, 12 June 2008 (UTC) Only trouble with merging is that nothing in this article is currently verifiable, so the merged material will probably be little more than a mere mention (assuming that a source can be found showing that the renaming even took place).

• Agree - The name change is already mentioned in the UC article. The aspect of the Family Fed including non-UC members should be explained. Besides which, the official name of the church was HSA-UWC not UC in the first place. Steve Dufour (talk) 00:43, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Given that this is a fairly obvious merge, and there's been no contrary opinion voiced, I've gone ahead and done it. Given that this article contained no WP:V info, and the target article mentions it in the lead, I've done it as a straight redirect. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk 11:45, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

AR-15 ceremony

Hi is it worth including this into the article?

Since Sun Myung Moon's death in 2012, she has openly become a part of the power struggle over succession of the Unification Movement. . Hyung Jin Sean Moon, whose claims over succession come from a coronation ceremony in 2009, accuses Hak Ja Han for unjustly removing him from various positions, culminating in his removal as International President of the Family Federation for World Peace in 2015 . Some say the power struggle began before Sun Myung Moon's death. Sun Myung Moon had begun appointing his sons to various positions in the movement as he began to age.

Since her rise to power, Hak Ja Han has instigated various ritual and theological changes to the teachings of her husbands. Most notable and controversial among adherents of Sun Myung Moon's religious teachings is the elevation of her status as a messianic figure through the concept of the "Only Begotten Daughter," and the textual changes to the church's main textbook, the "Cheon Sung Gyung," that was republished as the "Chambumo Gyeong"
