I was minding my own business at lunch a couple of weeks ago when a very pleasant elderly gentleman started a conversation with me. He talked about peace in the world, and the need for clear communication and empathy between nations and so on, and then mentioned he was a follower of Rev Sun Myung Moon, and a member of the Universal Peace Federation. He also, rather casually I thought, slipped in his objective of returning the world to "the way it was before the Fall of Man"...which gave me moer than a moment's pause. Now this nice gentleman is calling me and writing regularly to invite me to meetings. I've obviously tried the UPF website, but it seems as vague as my gentleman about what the organization's actual and spiritual objectives are. Can anyone enlighten me on this, or does anyone have experience of the UPF they could share? I mean, it's a given that they want universal peace, but what does that MEAN in the UPF's understanding of things?
