统一教以集体配婚闻名,2020年2月不畏新冠疫情,照常举行仪式。

前日本首相安倍晋三8日遇刺身亡,日媒报导指出,凶嫌山上彻也痛恨统一教,才把杀机投向与该组织关系密切的安倍。统一教信徒遍布日韩及美国,过去就曾因为集体配婚跃上国际新闻版面。日本议员铃木信行指出,许多日本女性因为这个宗教,被带到南韩参加集体结婚,也曾有人从日本携带巨额金钱前往南韩,就是为了捐给教会。

2020年2月的仪式上,来自64国的近6000对新人成婚。

统一教教义以基督教为基础,再加上文鲜明个人诠释。他们相信,人类背离神的教导,因此产生原罪,摆脱原罪的方法就是接受圣婚祝福,也就是广受瞩目的集体配婚仪式,第一代教徒由文鲜明担任牧师、帮忙配婚并且主持婚礼,之后教徒则由各地教会代为证婚。

文鲜明自认是要完成耶稣未竟志业的人,誓言把全体人类恢复至无罪的纯洁状态,被信徒尊为弥赛亚。他认为,跨国和跨文化婚姻,是带来理想和平世界的最快方法,乐于亲自替信众配婚,其中许多都是来自不同国家、互不相识的伴侣。此外,参加配婚者,必须宣誓证明自己是处女或处子,且在婚礼后40天内不得发生性关系。

文鲜明1997年在华盛顿州替3万对新人证婚,2年后在首尔奥运会场替2.1万新人证婚,数度引发热议。20202月,统一教不畏疫情,在加平郡集体配婚,现场包括来自64国的近6000对新人,甚至还有21岁女大生,大家穿着一模一样的服装,许多人近几周才第一次见面,却仅有部分信徒戴上口罩,因为他们相信一切都在上帝的掌控中,不会染疫。
