The term "Moon Church" often refers to the religious movement founded by Sun Myung Moon, known as the Unification Church. Established in the 1950s, this organization promotes the belief in a new spiritual path and aims to unite all religions under a common understanding of God. Followers believe that Moon was the Messiah and that his teachings provide a framework for world peace and family values. The Unification Church emphasizes the importance of family and community, encouraging members to participate in large-scale events and outreach programs. The church is known for its mass weddings, where large groups of couples are married in ceremonies led by Moon or his successors, symbolizing unity and commitment to the church's ideals.
