Here’s an interesting–I guess I can call it that–piece on Sanctuary Church, the 2022 version of Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church from the 1970s.

“Gun Church That Worships with AR-15s Bought a 40-Acre Compound in Texas for Its ‘Patriots'”
The Rod of Iron Ministries has become more militant since leader Hyung Jin “Sean” Moon attended the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

If your church upholds (dare I say, worships?) ideologies that support–even promote–violence like that of the January 6, 2020, insurrection and aggressive, cancerous ignorance like the wicked conspiracy theories of QAnon, then your church probably has less to do with Jesus than with this lunacy: “It’s a dangerous time, and this is a place of refuge and retreat if our community needs it,” Moon said in one of his recent sermons, titled “The King’s Report,” which he typically delivers wearing a crown made of bullets and a golden AR-15 displayed before him.
