I had the pleasure to experience being in Rev. Moon’s presence at the Senate hearings in Washington, D.C., when many religious leaders were being persecuted for their beliefs. Reverend Moon happened to be one of them, and I was part of the religious freedom movement. After everyone else had testified, I noticed that over on the far side of the room, there was a stirring, and a gentleman was led in whom I could not see well. As he sat and read his testimony, men all over the room began to cry, including me. Hardcore Baptists and staunch Episcopalians and Presbyterians, and even men who had no religious faith of any kind, began to cry because of the sincerity that came through as Reverend Moon testified.
We went out in that great hallway, and I was standing there as Reverend Moon came out. The news media was crowding around him, snapping pictures. We were about ten to fifteen feet away as he passed us. He stopped and paused for a moment, looked at me and pointed saying, “I need you!”
He poured into my mind everything that he was about. I understood immediately that he loved Jesus, he loved America, he loved people, he loved God. The spirit within me related to the spirit that was in him.
