Lucian, You seem caught in a Protestant loop of sorts. As a note, trying to approach this from an individual's vantage is even more difficult and prone to circular thinking. The Authority of the Church (the Bride) is the Pantokrator - the Bridegroom. Interpretation flows from Him through the Church...

Here's your answer: Davis said that some Moon associates have donated money to his congressional cam...

The name may be derived from the Arabic word for sweet, but the kind I have had was made with sunflower rather than sesame seeds and came to Russia by way of the Caucasus.
