Reverend Moon Celebrates Last Mass Wedding

The Reverend Sun Myung Moon married tens of thousands of couples today, his largest mass wedding since 1999, and what many say will be the aging leader's last. Moon's followers in the Unification Church, colloquially called Moonies, believe getting married with thousands of other couples allows them to learn the church's teachings of true love and world peace. Though once all of the couples getting married were matched by Moon, and meeting each other for the first time, now some of the couples have met previously and allowed to date. Some outsiders believe the church is a dangerous cult. Last year, Reverend Moon chose his son Moon Hyung-jin to take over religious leadership of the church. full story
