Unification Church founder Moon hurt in crash
By HYUNG-JIN KIM – Jul 19, 2008
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A helicopter carrying the Rev. Sun Myung Moon crashed Saturday into a mountain in South Korea, injuring the founder of the Unification Church and 13 others, officials said.
Moon was slightly injured, a hospital official said. Members of Moon's family, including his wife, were also hurt, and one person suffered a serious back injury, fire official Kim Wu-jong said.
The helicopter was carrying 16 people when it crashed and burst into flames, Kim said.
Moon and the others were treated at the nearby church-affiliated Cheongshim Hospital in Gapyeong, about 37 miles northeast of Seoul, hospital official Park Sung-kwon said.
Moon received an X-ray and his condition was not serious, Park said.
No details of his injury were given, but the church said in a brief statement on its Web site that Moon and the others were "safe."
Police and fire officials said the cause of the crash was under investigation.
Church official Kim Dae-yeol said the helicopter was flying to Cheongshim Hospital from southern Seoul. The Gapyeong area has several church-affiliated facilities including a museum and schools.
Moon founded the Seoul-based Unification Church in the 1950s and the conservative Washington Times newspaper in 1982. His church owns hundreds of companies around the world.
The church's doctrine is a mixture of Christian, Confucian and traditional Korean values, and Moon's followers believe he came into the world to complete the work of Jesus Christ.
In 2004, Moon was the center of a coronation ceremony in Washington at which he declared himself the Messiah. He also became widely known for performing mass weddings of followers.

轉發此新聞之際，實已是舊聞了。結果是，機上全數16人均安全離開意外現場，僅一位三十餘歲的申女士（音譯）受了骨折之類的傷，並已於當日在教會創建的清心醫院順利完成了手術。文牧師夫婦基本上無明顯受傷，但有些微的不適（畢竟，該直升機從四層樓高的高度向下墜毀）。很快地，文牧師已恢復了例常的忙碌行程，包含每天早上五點與會員們一起進行的訓讀會（據文牧師的么子文亨進Nim說，意外發生的四天後，文牧師早上已經能進行訓讀會達三小時之久，第五天的訓獨會則長達五小時，看來已經完全恢復過往驚人的樣態了！）
格主將在本blog陸續登出文牧師子女們對此事的相關見證，敬請期待。
