While I know the basics of Rev.Moon's creed and some of the recent changes ("We say heavenly parents not God the Father now etc") I only really know in depth some of the scandals they had back in the late 80's/early 90's in Europe.

I need to read up, since he's one of those preacher types armed with pamphlets and I have to sit in a room with him for six damn hours a day. Anyone know any good books or sources about this gang?

I know they believe in keeping love in the family, and marrying as many couples as possible as a symbolic ritual of spiritual agreement and unity.
They don't really handle it well when a couple decides they aren't right for each other, as selected and ordained by the group.
The wisest thing I've ever read from Rev. Moon was talking about being centered in politics, where it takes both the right wing and the left wing for the dove to fly.
