Glossary of Moonish Terms

Author’s note: This is intended to be an informal guide to help people understand the jargon we – Unificationists, Moonies, family members – use as we tell our stories. It is not to be taken as authoritative, and it is definitely not an official publication of the church, movement or whatever else we may choose to call ourselves. I welcome suggestions and contributions, but attempts to debate may be ignored. Samuel Harley, founder: We Were There
