"The full name of this movement, the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity, captures the contours of the restored order. The spiritual and material, the physical and supernatural, the sciences and humanities, the subject and object, male and female, all religions and all denominations, all the dualities of the created universe must be restored to their essential unity under God. To achieve these ends Unification seeks to be a catalyst. It is not interested in becoming another sect but acts as a movement which can disappear organizationally as its goals are attained. It is a success oriented movement, not given to idealizing suffering or deaths on crosses, rather, it seeks a hearing through economic and political power. While the Vatican and national councils of churches may use their powers in quiet diplomacy, Moon frankly admits that only those with this world's power are heard by the worldly powerful. And the powerful must hear, for the sacred/secular dichotomy is false; all must be restored."
