Unification Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Unification Church (UC) claims that Jesus appeared to Mun Yong-myong (his birth name) in the spring of 1935, when Moon was 15 years old (16 years old in Korean age reckoning). The Church is known to have been involved with weapon and munitions manufacturing in Korea since the 1960s, as documented in a 1978 United States Congressional Report on the Unification Church. Defenders of the church dismiss this argument, on the grounds that the Unification movement is properly divided into distinct organizations, each of which should be judged by the laws relating to its type. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Unification_Church   (5006 words)
