The Unification Church in America -- A Bibliography and Research Guide - Michael L. Mickler - 1987 |
Of those organizations affiliated with the Church, evangelistic affiliates have been the most volatile. The major reason for this is that these organizations are virtually interchangeable with the UC. That is, with few exceptions, membership in evangelistic affiliates has meant membership in the Church. Thus, rather than functioning as a buffer between the Unification Church and American society, Unification Church evangelistic organizations have heightened already existing tensions. Outside the Church, the virtual identification of separately incorporated evangelistic affiliates with the Unification Church has led to charges of recruitment under false pretenses. From within, the same identification has provoked dissension over standards of belief and practice. To highlight the literature produced by evangelistic organizations, they may be grouped into three categories: 1) pre-1972 missionary organizations; 2) evangelistic affiliates established after 1972; and 3) student groups.
Four important missionary organizations predated Reverend Moon's more-or-less permanent 1972 arrival in the United States. These were the "Unified Family" led by Young Oon Kim; "United Faith, Inc." led by David S. C. Kim; the "International Re-Educational Foundation" (IRF) led by Sang Ik Choi; and the "Oakland Family," later known as "New Education Development Systems, Inc." (NEDS) and as the "Creative Community Project" (CCP) led by Onni and Mose Durst. In addition, Colonel Bo Hi Pak led a Washington, D.C.-based association that merged with Young Oon Kim's Unified Family in 1965. These organizations, all evangelistic in orientation, were incorporated separately due to differing missionary styles, early disagreements, and the sheer size of the United States. Continued jurisdictional disputes, tactical alliances and general grievances, however, hindered organizational consolidation during the sixties and early seventies.
Literature produced by these communities primarily included theological texts and organizational newsletters. The Unified Family, formally incorporated as the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity, published eight editions of Young Oon Kim's The Divine Principles, later The Divine Principle and Its Application [455-62] from 1960-72. It also published a monthly newsletter, New Age Frontiers [477] which is the best single source in English of Unification Church activities during the sixties. United Faith, Inc. published two editions of Individual Preparation for His Coming Kingdom: Interpretation of the Principles [452-53] written by David S.C. Kim, as well as an important newsletter, United Temple Bulletin [565]. The International Re-Education Foundation published The Principles of Education [533] originally written by Sang Ik Choi in Japan but utilized by IRF in San Francisco during the late sixties. This adaptation (not translation) of The Principle caused dissension within the Church as did the IRF community style as chronicled in the Epoch Maker [551] and The Universal Voice [566].
The Oakland Family, which emerged out of IRF, perpetuated this dissension and is a unique case. On the one hand, it was the only one of the missionary groupings to survive the early seventies. On the other hand, it has left a meager documentary record. The major reason for this is that the Oakland Family was able to draw on the resources of both IRF and the emerging national Church. Its evangelistic workshops, for example, combined introductory sessions based on Sang Ik Choi's Principles of Education and an advanced session teaching the newly translated Divine Principle. Similarly, though initiating several short-lived newsletters, the Oakland Family mainly relied on Unification Church national publications. While this approach freed organizational energies from documentary responsibilities, it also created problems. The public at large charged that converts were being led into the Church deceptively. Those inside, but not part of the Oakland Family, questioned whether they were being led into the Church at all. NEDS' own dictum that it was "affiliated with, but independent of, the Unification Church" satisfied neither group of critics. As a result, the Oakland Family was a major locus of strain throughout the seventies, a situation, however, that has been largely resolved since Mose Durst was appointed president of the American Unification Church in 1980.
The most important evangelistic organizations established after 1972 were the International One World Crusade (IOWC) and the Barrytown Training Program. The IOWC, originally the One World Crusade (OWC), was set up in 1972 and consisted of mobile teams that supported Unification Church evangelistic crusades. By stressing non-sectarian issues such as patriotism, morality and international fellowship, the IOWC sought to bridge gaps between the Unification Church and American culture and at the same time gain a hearing for the Church's theological claims. In general, the IOWC was successful, winning numerous civic testimonials and a stream of new converts. Following the cessation of major evangelistic tours in 1976, American IOWCs faded but were reinstated in 1983 when Unification Church wives were asked to join mobile units. These proliferated to more than fifty teams by the end of that year.
The IOWC produced two important works. First was a two-volume Day of Hope in Review [535-36] that chronicled Reverend Moon's early American ministry. Compiled by David S. C. Kim, these massive limited-edition folios contain innumerable photographs, newspaper clippings (pro and con) and reproductions of memorabilia as well as editorial introductions and excerpts from Rev. Moon's speeches. A third volume, not yet released, carries the account forward from 1975. The second important IOWC published work was Yo Han Lee's Faith and Life [538], a three-volume set of lectures. Although delivered in Japan and translated into English, these are helpful in understanding the IOWC ethos and spirituality.
The Barrytown Training Program, unlike the IOWC, moved in a sectarian direction. Originally set up in 1975 for the first American wave of Unification Church foreign missionaries, the program was commissioned to re-train Unification Church domestic missionaries as well and did so in successive four-month (120-day) training sessions. These, however, were evangelistic and public relation disasters. On the one hand, with many of their best leaders overseas, Unification Church domestic "pioneers" faltered badly. On the other hand, extra-doctrinal interpretations (including a doctrine of "heavenly deception") alleged to be contained in program director Ken Sudo's 120-Day Lectures [544] were later repudiated by the Church [912]. This manual, however, was widely-used by Unification Church foreign and domestic missionaries in the mid-seventies. The other important publication of the Barrytown Training Program was Pioneer News [563], a newsletter that included sermons, exhortations, testimonies and news from the field.
Student groups make up a final category of evangelistic affiliates. While Unified Students, Students for World Unification (SWU), Students for New Age Unification (SNAU) and Students for an Ethical Society (SES) were set up by missionary groups, the only student affiliate maintaining continuity and producing a body of literature is the Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles (CARP). Originally founded in the Orient, CARP USA was organized in 1973 but remained relatively inactive until the late seventies when the Unification Church committed resources and personnel toward its development. During the early eighties, CARP has been active on major college campuses, most prominently in demonstrations against the USSR. CARP campus publications include Global Insight [553], the World Student Times [568], and the World University Times [569]. Internally-circulated publications include CARP Monthly [550], Front Line [552], New Pioneer [560] and Pioneer [562].

Unification Church anti-communist affiliates derive in part from the Church's Korean origins and have been set up in accordance with the its call for "a worldwide ideological offensive to counter the global threat of communism." These affiliates, incorporated as non-profit educational and research foundations, have organized conferences, sponsored seminars and issued publications in efforts to educate and influence policy-makers in the U.S. and elsewhere. At the same time, the Church has underwritten a number of alliances, coalitions and committees designed to combat a perceived erosion of civil and religious liberties in communist nations and in the West. These organizations also have been utilized to defend the Unification Church.
The Freedom Leadership Foundation (FLF) was the Unification Church's chief anticommunist affiliate during the seventies. It was set up in 1969 as the American branch of the International Federation for Victory over Communism (IFVOC) previously organized by the Unification Church in Japan and Korea. Although FLF supported some lobbying efforts through ad hoc coalitions and committees (and thereby did not violate its tax-exempt status), its primary thrust was ideological. FLF, for example, published Sang Hun Lee's Communism: A Critique and Counterproposal [578] which became a standard Unification Church text. This volume, a translation of an earlier version in Korean, criticizes Marxist theories of value, dialectics and history. It also elaborates a counterproposal based on Unification Church doctrines. FLF, itself, attempted to cultivate allies and influence public opinion. Its chief vehicle to do so was The Rising Tide [599]. Billed as "America's fastest growing freedom newspaper," The Rising Tide maintained 7-8,000 biweekly press runs and occasional runs of 60-80,000 on issues deemed crucial. With news, commentary and theoretical critiques of Marxist-Leninism, it is the best single source for understanding the Unification Church's political orientation during the seventies. Other FLF publications included Korea: Vortex of Global Confrontation [585] and Communism: Promise and Practice [591].
CAUSA International and the CAUSA Institute, an interdisciplinary research and teaching center, displaced FLF as the Unification Church's major anticommunist affiliates during the eighties. Under the leadership of Bo Hi Pak, CAUSA (from the Latin word for "cause") has attained widespread visibility due to its access to high-ranking government officials in several Latin American countries, its alleged monetary contributions to conservative political-action organizations and its well-attended seminars in the United States. These latter conferences featured multi-media presentations of material subsequently published as the CAUSA Lecture Manual [582] and Introduction to the CAUSA Worldview [583]. Essentially updated and more fully documented versions of Sang Hun Lee's work, these promulgate "Godism" as an alternative to communism and to "confusion in the Western system of values." Additionally, CAUSA, in conjunction with its Center for International Security (CIS) and International Security Council (ISC) has sponsored seminars on global trouble spots. Proceedings from these seminars are published in hard-cover and booklet form. See the CAUSA [593] and CAUSA USA Report [595] for overviews of activities.
Related to its anti-communist critique, the Unification Church has underwritten a number of alliances, coalitions and committees designed to combat a perceived worldwide erosion of civil and religious liberties. These have included the American Committee for Human Rights of Japanese Wives of North Korean Repatriates, the International Committee Against Racial and Religious Intolerance, Minority Alliance International, the Committee to Defend the U.S. Constitution, and the Coalition for Religious Freedom. Of these, the Coalition for Religious Freedom generated the most publicity. Its activities, which included strong support for Rev. Moon in his tax case, are covered in Religious Freedom Alert [597].

Academic, scientific and cultural organizations affiliated with the Church stem from its anti-communist affiliates. That is, while Unification Church anticommunist affiliates seek to combat communism, academic, scientific, and cultural affiliates embody a counterproposal. In general, this counterproposal has meant two things. First, it has meant the establishment and sponsorship of organizations promoting internationalist, multi-disciplinary and generally theistic approaches to the crises of contemporary civilization. Second, it has meant the development of a philosophical system not only as an alternative to Marxist-Leninism but also as the ideological basis for Unification Church monetary support of ongoing conferences and symposia, publishing concerns, academic exchanges, research funding, good-will tours, public forums and academic prizes.
The International Cultural Foundation (lCF) is the umbrella organization for Unification Church affiliates addressing problems of modern society. Set up in Japan in 1968 to promote "academic, scientific, and cultural exchange among the countries of the world," ICF funds a number of activities and organizations. The most important are the International Conference on the Unity of the Sciences (lCUS), the Professors World Peace Academy (PWPA), the Washington Institute for Values in Public Policy (WI), and Paragon House Publishers (PHP).
ICUS, first convened in 1972, attracts scientists and scholars to annual meetings on science and "absolute" values. Although these gatherings have been controversial and large, the current trend is away from larger meetings and toward smaller conferences with more focused attention given to committee work and publications. Papers and proceedings of meetings are published under such titles as Absolute Values and the New Cultural Revolution [602-3], Absolute Values and the Search for the Peace of Mankind [604], The Centrality of Science and Absolute Values [607], Modern Science and Moral Values [647], and The Responsibility of the Academic Community in the Search for Absolute Values [655]. These volumes include more than twelve titles in all.
PWPA, founded in 1973 but not organized in the United States until 1979, is an international association of scholars pursuing a broad range of "peace" studies. Its most important single publication is the International Journal on World Peace [688]. Including articles, often accompanied by opposing viewpoints and rejoinders, summaries of peace-related news and book reviews, the journal is published quarterly out of New York. In addition to publications generated by PWPA-USA, PWPA national affiliates publish materials in English. PWPA-Japan has been the most active, publishing a journal, The Academician [685], monographs. Such as Challenging the Future [608] and project reports [623]. Also prominent are published proceedings of the International Conference on World Peace (ICWP), sponsored on a rotating basis by PWPA chapters in Korea, Nationalist China and Japan since 1974.
The Washington Institute for Values in Public Policy was set up in 1983 by a group of academics associated with PWPA-USA. Organized to offer "nonpartisan analyses exploring ethical values underlying public policy issues," the Institute sponsors research and conferences on nuclear energy policy, aggression and war, East-West relations, arts and humanities and foreign affairs. Published monographs include Central America in Crisis: A Policy for Action [606], One Nation...Indivisible? The English Language Amendment [620], Global Policy: The Challenge of the 80's [632], and Reflections on Religion and Public Policy [663]. The Institute also publishes regular "white paper reports" on a variety of topics.
Activities of ICUS, PWPA and the Washington Institute are reported on in the quarterly ICF Report [687]. Additionally, Paragon House Publishers (PHP) was organized in 1982 as an outgrowth of ICF. Books authored in connection with ICF-related organizations now are published by Paragon House as imprint series, i.e., ICUS Books, PWPA Books, Washington Institute Books. Paragon also publishes a general line of fiction, criticism and scholarly works as well as New ERA Books, an imprint of the New Ecumenical Research Association (see chap. 2, sec. D).
The key Unification Church affiliate developing a philosophical orientation to counter Marxist theory and to provide the ideological foundation for Unification Church support of ICF is the Unification Thought Institute (UTI). With branches in Seoul, Tokyo, and New York, UTI has pursued these dual objectives primarily through publication of Sang Hun Lee's Unification Thought [639], later updated as Explaining Unification Thought [638]. Although these volumes have not circulated widely, if at all, outside the Church, they argue for a final synthesis of all sciences and philosophies under the "Unification Principle" as the basis for a new world order. The volumes, themselves, include chapters on Ontology, Original Human Nature, Epistemology, Axiology, Ethics, History, Logic, Education, Art and Methodology. These topics and others are addressed in the Unification Thought Quarterly [689]. An early sounding board for Unification Thought was the New World Forum organized in 1975 as an outgrowth of the Unification Church's United Nations mission. Its monthly journal, Unified World [690], included excerpts from Unification Thought and articles from the staff of UTI.

Ecumenical, interfaith and social service organizations affiliated with the Church are primarily outgrowths of Unification Church evangelistic affiliates but with two important differences. First, unlike Unification Church-related evangelistic organizations, they have been able to involve a broad range of intellectuals and church professionals in a variety of ongoing relationships. Second, whereas evangelistic organizations have been oriented toward conversion, Unification Church ecumenical, interfaith and social service affiliates are oriented more toward dialogue. In general, this dialogue has involved exchanges with Christian theologians, interfaith work and initiatives in the area of religion and society.
The Unification Church's most important ecumenical organizations have been Unification Theological Seminary (UTS) and the New Ecumenical Research Foundation (New ERA). Unification Theological Seminary, founded at Barrytown, New York in 1975, has related ecumenically to the Christian community in at least three ways. First, and most significantly, UTS was organized along the lines of mainline Christian seminaries. This is evident in its Religious Studies and Divinity programs as well as in efforts to gain recognition from the American Association of Theological Schools. Second, the seminary installed a faculty of mostly mainstream Protestant and Catholic scholars. Third, UTS sponsors numerous conferences and dialogues with interested theologians both at the seminary and regionally throughout the United States. In 1979, UTS hosted a summer seminar on "Unification Theology" which led to the formation of New ERA, an association of scholars who had participated in this conference and others. Formally established in 1980, New ERA has worked conjointly with the seminary to sponsor conferences, seminars and publications.
Literature produced by Unification Theological Seminary and New ERA is varied. The best source for the makeup and orientation of the seminary is its catalogue [740]. It includes lists of faculty, course offerings, summaries of the seminary's history, stated goals and descriptions of its community life. Ongoing UTS activities are well-documented in its monthly, student-run newsletter, The Cornerstone [734]. While the seminary's early interaction with Christian theologians was stimulated by Young Oon Kim's Unification Theology and Christian Thought [711-12], subsequent dialogues and conferences resulted in a series of volumes published by the seminary and by New ERA Books. A number of these titles derive from the Unification Church's interaction with professional theologians. Proceedings o/the Virgin Islands Seminar on Unification Theology [694], Hermeneutics and Unification Theology [696], Exploring Unification Theology [697], Restoring the Kingdom [703], Hermeneutics and Horizons: The Shape 0/ the Future [706], and Ten Theologians Respond to the Unification Church [724] all examine facets of Unification Church doctrines as they relate to various schools of Christian thought. Evangelical-Unification Dialogue [722] and Orthodox-Unification Dialogue [730] contain proceedings and papers from conferences held with practitioners of particular traditions. The Family and the Unification Church [709] and Lifestyle: Conversations with Members of the Unification Church [721] explore issues of spirituality and social organization. Other conferences which did not result in books are reported on in New ERA [738], a bimonthly newsletter.
A number of Unification Church-related organizations including UTS and New ERA engage in interfaith work. The most important of these are the Global Congress of the World's Religions (GCWR) and the International Religious Foundation (IRF). GCWR was initiated by the faculty of the Unification Theological Seminary as "a response to the quantum leap in religious pluralism around the world in the past few decades." Its major emphasis to date has been the sponsorship of interfaith consultations and conferences. Proceedings of conferences convened prior to 1980 are published in Towards a Global Congress of World's Religions [714-15] and Towards a Global Congress of the World's Religions [716]. Proceedings from 1980-82 are published in The Global Congress of the World's Religions [727]. Since 1981, the organization also has published a newsletter [739].
The International Religious Foundation, incorporated in 1982 as an umbrella organization for virtually all the Unification Church's inter-religious activities, quickly eclipsed the GCWR in importance. IRF's major project to date has been an Assembly of the World's Religions, held for the first time in late 1985 and planned for 1989 and 1993. This project was an outgrowth of IRF annual conferences on God convened since 1981. Papers from the first of these meetings were published under the title, God, the Contemporary Discussion [726]. Subsequent "God Conferences" produced God and Temporality [699], God and Global Justice [704] and The Defense of God [725], among other titles. In addition to GCWR and IRF, Unification Theological Seminary fosters interfaith work through guest lectureships and regular courses utilizing Young Oon Kim's 3 vol. World Religions [713]. Finally, New ERA in conjunction with the seminary and IRF sponsors an annual international sociology conference on contemporary religious movements. Papers from the first two of these are published as The Social Impact of New Religious Movements [732] and Alternatives to American Mainstream Churches [705].
In the area of religion and society, important Unification Church affiliates have been the Society for Common Insights (SCI) and the National Council for the Church and Social Action (NCCSA). SCI, originally a group of Unification Church and Unification Church-related scientists interested in "common insights and methodologies of science and religion in their social context," increasingly emphasized the social dimension. This emphasis was evident in the Journal of the Society for Common Insights [736] and in SCI's decision to help establish and later affiliate with the National Council for the Church and Social Action. Active primarily among black churches, NCCSA expanded to include more than two dozen chapters after 1977. Although basically a social service organization, it produced some literature. Noteworthy are proceedings from two national conferences "On the Church and Social Problems" [719-20] and local chapter newsletters such as the Washington, D.C. WCSA Housing Monitor [741].
In 1982, NCCSA became one of the constellation of organizations under IRF which subsequently convened "Interdenominational Conferences for Clergy with Emphasis on Ecumenism and Social~ Action.". Unification Church verses social work is channeled through the International Relief Friendship Foundation (IRFF) headquartered in New York. Its activities which include emergency relief aid, farm projects and mobile medical teams are covered in IRFF's quarterly Frontiers in Development [735]. In addition to these organizations, Unification Theological Seminary involves itself in the area of religion and society through student internships and, for several years, through publication of a community-service newsletter, The Mid-Hudson Tide [737].

Literature published by Unification Church media affiliates includes metropolitan newspapers, conference proceedings and material generated by a motion picture company. The organizations producing this literature have been set up and funded by the Church for three major reasons. First, the creation of media outlets stems from a stated commitment to the values of a free press. In this respect, the Unification Church has been willing to employ large numbers of nonchurch professionals and to fund outlets over which it has had only indirect control. Second, as public hostility against the Unification Church has been reflected in press reports, media affiliates were created to counter this trend and portray the Church in a more favorable, or at least more "objective," light. In addition, since most Unification Church media outlets were established in New York City or Washington, D.C., these organizations enabled the Church to make important contacts and advance its perspective in major centers of the American communications industry. Third, and a factor not to be overlooked despite reportedly huge operating losses, most Unification Church media-related affiliates have been set up as profit-making business ventures.
News World Communications, Inc. coordinates the Unification Church's media network. In New York, it publishes the The New York City Tribune [753], a New York daily newspaper (formerly The News World [754]); International Report [751], a news service; Noticias Del Mundo [755], a Spanish-language daily (also published in Los Angeles); and Saege Shimbo [756], a Korean-language daily. Some of these are identifiable as Unification Church operations and reflect Church views. The News World, for example, defended the Unification Church on religious liberty grounds, maintained an ideological offensive against communism and promoted wholesome moral values. Noticias Del Mundo enabled the Unification Church to make important contacts in Latin America. In 1982, the Unification Church purchased facilities of the newly defunct Washington Star and began operations there, but with a different approach. Hiring ex-Washington Star writers and non-Unification Church editors, some of whom had autonomy clauses written into their contracts, The Washington Times [758] reflects conservative, though not necessarily Unification Church, perspectives. As the "flagship" of Unification Church media affiliates, it published a national edition in 1984 and in 1985 began Insight [750], a weekly newsmagazine.
Besides news outlets, the Unification Church's two most important media organizations are the World Media Conference and One Way Productions, Inc. The World Media Conference, originally sponsored in conjunction with Sekai Nippo [757], the Unification Church's Tokyo daily, is held annually. Proceedings from the first conference are published under the title, World Crisis and the Mission of Journalism [747]. One Way Productions, Inc., the Unification Church's incipient motion picture company, has produced one feature film and has others planned. "Inchon," released through United Artist theatres in the United States, depicted an amphibious landing directed by General Douglas MacArthur during the Korean War. Although estimates of its total cost ranged from $40-60 million, "Inchon" was not successful at the box office nor was it favorably reviewed by film critics [796, 1266].
