The article below appears on 'Historica Fandom' and I am seeking to substantiate what it says. My question is not about issues arising from the content of the article as such.
I am only seeking to substantiate it as being factual.
Is this an accurate resume of the current status of the Unification Sanctuary Church ?
>The World Peace and Unification Sanctuary Church is a far-right new religious movement in the United States which was founded in 2013 by Hyung Jin Moon and his wife Yeon Ah Lee Moon as a schismatic splinter from the Unification Church. The church officially commenced in Newfoundland, Pennsylvania in January 2015, and it became infamous for its fetishization of firearms as their interpretation of the "rod of iron" mentioned in the Bible. In early 2018, not long after a deadly school shooting in Parkland, Florida, the church gained notoriety for holding a marriage vows renewal ceremony that asked participants to bring their AR-15 rifles. Moon and other members of the church participated in the 2021 United States coup d'etat attempt in Washington DC, and, that same year, the church relocated to a compound near Waco, Texas, the site of the Branch Davidians' former compound.
