A Conference to open in New Providence next week is raising some eyebrows as organisations hosting the event are involved with a world renowned cult leader.
The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) and the Inter-religious and International Federation for World Peace (IIFWP) will hold a seminar on “The Ideology of Peace” for leaders of the Bahamas.
However, concern has been rising over the FFWPU, IIFWP coming to the Bahamas because of the organisation’s association with its founder, Reverend Sun Myung Moon, a man known world-wide as the head of a cult often referred to as the “Moonies” or the Unification Church.
The Korean religious leader was an engineering student and dock-worker before founding the Unification Church in 1954 with a doctrine based on Christianity as interpreted by Moon, who his followers say is the “real Messiah.”
Moon introduced the movement to the United States in the 1960s.
Officially known as the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification for World Christianity, its world headquarters are now in New York City.
