Rev Moon unites Christians, Muslims and Jews

MEPI: Reconciling the Family of Abraham
Sun Myung Moon Unites Abrahamic Faiths 

From the early days of his ministry, Rev. Sun Myung Moon recognized the importance of and invested in interreligious dialogue and cooperation for future world of peace. In fact, he spent more money on interreligious activities than on his own faith community. Reverend Moon knew that interreligious understanding and cooperation would be the most effective means to bring about a world of peace in the future.

In His Own Words:
“How about God’s headache – the division and disunity within Christianity and between the world religions? For God, religious people are the conscience of the world. Religious people have the tradition, values and practical power to overcome evil and educate the world about the true way of life. From the earliest day of the Unification Movement I devoted the greatest portion of our resources to serving other religions. In the 1950s, when many Unification families did not have enough to eat, I devoted funds to the cause of interreligious harmony. I suffered for their hardships and begged for their patience for the sake of mankind’s future.” – Rev. Sun Myung Moon
Abrahamic Religions embraces each other.
Old City of Jerusalem Prophesy
Bishop Pugh testified that it was there in the Old City of Jerusalem that he saw the prophesy of Reverend Moon that he heard him speak almost 20 years ago that one day Muslims, Christians and Jews would worship together. He didn’t believe when he heard it. But when he saw the Christians, Muslims and Jews at the Western Wall and the heads of Islam praising Reverend Moon at Al Aqsa Mosque, deep inside the Holy Spirit touched him and he knew who Reverend Moon was.

Founded in 2003, the MEPI is based on Reverend Moon’s vision that problems of the Middle East will ultimately be solved by religious leaders – the leaders of Christianity, Judaism and Islam working together, rathen than political leadership alone. To bring reconciliation between the three Abrahamic faiths, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, MEPI organizes pilgrimages, dialogues and peace rallies in the Holy Land.
