Unification Sanctuary Matching Handbook

INTRODUCTION

This is the first edition of the Sanctuary Church Matching Handbook. We expect there may be revisions after more experience and feedback. It will shares some of the accumulated experience of those who have gone before in trying to practice a God centered matching process. It is not and cannot be a rule book or law book of what to do. Each parent and candidate is unique with their own portion of responsibility. We hope to give you insights to pray over, think about, and discuss as you go forward in this process.

The process and policies outlined in this handbook are based upon the new international guidelines developed under the guidance of Rev. Hyung Jin Moon, Rev. Yeonah Moon, Mr. Kook Jin Moon, and Mrs. Ji Yae Moon. The foundation of this handbook is the teachings of our True Father, Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the owner of lineage and founder of the Blessing tradition.

FINDING GOD’S HEART AND MOTIVATION

The motivation for Parents’ matching is God bringing our Heavenly Father joy and fulfilling God’s Original ideal, the Three Great Blessings. Our challenge is to find that heart and motivation and create the conditions and process that will allow God to be present and guide it. Please, forward your feedback and suggestions.
