Reverend Moon visits

Reverend Sun Myung Moon has visited the DR and addressed a conference at the Hotel Dominican Fiesta yesterday. Moon is well known for the mass wedding ceremonies he has celebrated around the world. According to Diario Libre, his conference on Monday was attended by politicians, religious leaders and diplomats who prayed for world peace. The controversial and very wealthy Korean visited Santo Domingo as part of a 100-day tour that is taking him to 100 cities and 67 nations. On the tour, Moon is promoting the “World Peace King Bridge-Tunnel,” a bridge over the Bering Strait or a tunnel under it, “so that it will be able to connect the world super highway starting from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa to Santiago in Chile, and from London to New York, making the world a single community.” He sees his trip as part of his struggle for peace that he says will end with his death.
