==Matchmaking==

When the church was just getting started in Korea, Rev. Moon knew each member personally and prayed long hours while considering which were the best matches. Being able to see into the spiritual world, he could see their ancestry and thus determine who ought to go with whom; even as a child in his village he had the reputation as a shrewd matchmaker. In the US, members would gather in large rooms and Rev. Moon would look at them or talk with them briefly, mostly relying on [[discernment of spirits]] to make his choices.

Of course, members are free to refuse a match. In that case, Rev. Moon often has offered an alternative match.
