Line 1:
I've been in the church nearly 30 years and have closely followed the "successorship issue". No mention has been made publicly, or even with church circles, of any successor to Rev. Moon other than his wife, [[Hak Ja Han Moon]]. This may come as a surprise to those who regard the UC as anti-feminist, but you can google it for yourself or contact UC headquarters in Washington, D.C. and ask for yourself. --[[User:Ed Poor|Uncle Ed]] 03:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Scholar Jeffrey K. Hadden wrote;
* Few founding leaders have planned their succession more actively than Rev Moon
* Hak Ja Han, Rev Moon's wife, is the successor designate.
* The process of her succession began on Jan 1, 1993 with the declaration that the Age of Restoration is completed [http://religiousmovements.lib.virginia.edu/lectures/moonies.html]
Massimo Introvigne's speculation is just that. He draws his own conclusion, from the fact that Hyun Jin Nim was given some responsibilites that "denotes him as the successor" [http://www.cesnur.org/testi/moon_1199.htm] but as a church member myself with his "ear to the ground" I doubt this. --[[User:Ed Poor|Uncle Ed]] 03:53, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
