"Moonies" stage festival in Mongolia PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 23 August 2008

The Unification Church is organizing the Global Peace Festival in Ulaanbaatar Mongolia on September 9th.
Members of the unification Curch, often referred to as the "Moonies", have been active in promoting the event around the city. Major websites carried banners on the festival and an army of volunteers

The Unification Church owes its nickname to its founder Sun Myung Moon. The organization is controversial for practices including mass arranged marriages.
Moon visited Mongolia October 2005. He came to Ulaanbaatar with his wife Hak Ja Han Moon and gave a speech entitled: “Strong family life is the true role model for peace and harmony.”

Moon openly criticizes the UN and saying that "over 200 member countries represents their own petty interests, doing nothing more than serving its benefits." He also spoke in Mongolia of his plans on the project of linking North America and Russia by constructing a bridge over Bering Strait; from Africa to Santiago, Chile; London, England to New York, America by constructing the Peace Bridge and creating a highway connecting the world.

During the Stalinist purges of the 1930's almost every monastery in Mongolia was destroyed. In 1979 an atlas was published in Ulaanbaatar by Mr. Rinchen with an overview of more than 900 religious sites that used to exist in Mongolia. However a lot the information listed seems to be not accurate. A research has been initiated to get a better idea of all the buddhist buildings that once stood in Mongolia.
