Sun Myung Moon was born in 1920 in rural Korea. His official biography states that at the age of 16, Jesus appeared to Moon and asked him to continue the work he had started 2000 years earlier.[1] In 1945, Moon released a book of his organized teachings entitled The Divine Principle and in the ensuing years began to lay the ground work for his Unification Church which he officially founded in 1954. [2][3] In the early 1970s, Moon began a concerted effort to bring his teachings to America. [4] Since that time, the Unification Church has grown exponentially worldwide, and is now a financially powerful organization.
