jamiroguy1 Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 The Rev. Moon Honored at Hill ReceptionLawmakers Say They Were Misled By Charles Babington and Alan CoopermanWashington Post Staff WritersWednesday, June 23, 2004; Page A01More than a dozen lawmakers attended a congressional reception this year honoring the Rev. Sun Myung Moon in which Moon declared himself the Messiah and said his teachings have helped Hitler and Stalin be "reborn as new persons."At the March 23 ceremony in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, Rep. Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) wore white gloves and carried a pillow holding an ornate crown that was placed on Moon's head. The Korean-born businessman and religious leader then delivered a long speech saying he was "sent to Earth . . . to save the world's six billion people. . . . Emperors, kings and presidents . . . have declared to all Heaven and Earth that Reverend Sun Myung Moon is none other than humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent."Details of the ceremony -- first reported by Salon.com writer John Gorenfeld -- have prompted several lawmakers to say they were misled or duped by organizers. Their complaints prompted a Moon-affiliated Web site to remove a video of the "Crown of Peace" ceremony two days ago, but other Web sites have preserved details and photos. Moon, 85, has been controversial for years. Renowned for officiating at mass weddings, he received an 18-month prison sentence in 1982 for tax fraud and conspiracy to obstruct justice. In a 1997 sermon, he likened homosexuals to "dirty dung-eating dogs."Full articlehttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A61932-2004Jun22.html Related articleshttp://thehill.com/news/062204/moon.aspx http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=1972357 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
