The '''Unification Church''' was founded in 1954 by [[Sun Myung Moon]], a religious minister who was raised in a [[Christian]] household.  Moon was originally from northern [[Korea]] and founded ''The [[Washington Times]]'', a conservative newspaper. The church's adherents were known colloquially as "Moonies" until the late 1980s or early 1990s. The church preaches a [[universalist]] doctrine of [[salvation]] based on a doctrine called the Unification Principle.<ref>The church's teachings are written in Korean, and were re-translated in 1996 as ''Exposition of the Divine Principle'' [http://www.unification.net/dp96/] </ref> Rev. Moon, calling himself the Lord of the Second Advent, believes he is the new [[messiah]], sent to complete the elimination of evil, the establishment of a perfect society on earth and the cleansing of mankind of [[original sin]].
