Who would replace the Cross with Crowns?

One of the front groups that Sun Myung Moon established was the American Clergy Leadership Conference (ACLC).  He further promoted this group by forming the United Federation of Churches.  The ACLC was founded in 2001.  If you look at the symbol of the ACLC the main part of the symbol is that of the Family Federation of World Peace, clearly demonstrating the association of the front organization with that of the parent group.

This group is made up of ministers mostly claiming to be Christian ministers who are claiming that they are following the family values and conservative teaching of Sun Myung Moon.  Unfortunately they have not taken the time to find out what Moon really had in mind when he founded the ACLC.  Some of the ministers acknowledge that the Washington Times newspaper owned and funded by Moon but do not believe he has any control of it.  However, if they did their homework they would find that Moon has invested over 3 billion dollars in the paper and that it was started by Col. Bo Hi Pak, Moon's top agent who also started many of Moon's other projects.  The top position on the paper has always been a Korean member of the Unification Church.  The paper has always promoted Moon's agenda and followed his directions.  This fact was clearly stated in Bo Hi Pak's book Truth is My Sword Vol. 1, where Pak tells of Moon's involvement with the papers giving Pak strong directions on what and how he wants some printing and article written. 

Moon's family values leaves much to be desired.  When Moon first started his church and teachings he practices a ritual called "Blood Sharing" or "Blood Cleansing".  This ritual consisted of sexual intercourse with his female parishioners.  It has been replaced with the "Holy Wine" ceremony which both are said to change the blood lineage from Satan's sinful blood line to Moon's Sinless bloodline.  This wine ceremony has been held according to the Unification webpage ( www.familyfed.org ) during many of the ACLC breakfast and other meetings both here in New York and around the country.  It's hard to picture how a Christian would be willing to change his bloodline from Christianity to Moon's bloodline, yet many have done so. 

Another problem with Moon's family values is those very values themselves.  Moon clearly taught his members in 1965 the ideal circumstances for rearing of children. 

Moon himself has a very poor family history, his first Chio Sunkil was a Christian and had a son Sun-jin.  Sun Myung Moon left her and his six month old son and it was six years later when his wife found where he was living.  During that period of time Moon father an illegitimate son.  Moon married his present wife who was eighteen years old while he was forty.  While claiming to be sinless he also had an illegitimate son during his marriage. 

Moon and his present wife had thirteen children.  One son was killed in an auto accident when he was eighteen years old.  Since Moon teaches that one cannot enter heaven unless they are married, he married that dead son to Col. Bo Hi Pak's living daughter.  Six months later another of Moon's children gave their newborn son over to Pak's daughter to raise as her own.  Moon's oldest son was divorced from his wife which Moon blessed in marriage.  The reason for the divorce was the son's use of pornography, drugs and abusive treatment of his wife.  Yet he was supposed to be sinless according to Moon's teachings.  Another son, Young Moon committed suicide in Reno and was first buried there because the family did not claim the body.  They later removed the body to Korea and reburied it.  One of Moon's daughters left home and returned only after she discovered she was ill.

Those are not the family values any true Christian would be interested in following, but the story does not even end there.  The other reason for following Moon with the ACLC is the conservative views.  Yet most of the ministers may not be aware the Sun Myung Moon is a business partner with the king of North Korea.  Together they own an automobile factory.  Moon also gave that dictator a birthday present of 2 million dollars.  Moon has a history of association with other non-conservative backgrounds and in some cases even criminal drug related histories.  Endorsing these types of practices is not in any way what a follower of Jesus Christ would ever do.  Yet by attending the ACLC meetings they are doing just that.
