Mose Durst
Mose Durst (born 1939) is an author, educator, and the former president of the Unification Church of the United States.〔(''Children of a Lesser God'' ), by Don Lattin, San Francisco Chronicle, February 11, 2001.〕 He was born in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York City; then an Orthodox Jewish community; to immigrants from Russia. He received a Master's degree and Ph.D while studying English Literature at the University of Oregon. He taught at Laney College in Oakland, California. In 1972 he converted from Judaism and joined the Unification Church in Oakland, then became a lecturer and a church leader in California. In 1974, he married Korean missionary Yon Soo Lim, and they led the Northern California church together.〔
In 1980, Durst was appointed by Unification Church founder Sun Myung Moon as the president of the American church. As church president Durst expanded some of the successful practices of the Northern California church to the national level.〔 "Moonie change seen", ''Modesto Bee'', May 8, 1980〕 〔(Neil Duddy Interview: Dr. Mose Durst )〕〔(excerpts ) ''The Unification Church, Studies in Contemporary Religion'' Massimo Introvigne, Signature Books, ISBN 1-56085-145-7.〕
In 1984, Durst expressed regret over misunderstandings between Unification Church members and some members of the Jewish community. He placed blame for this both on the members' "youthful zeal and ignorance" and on the community's "insecurity."〔"Unification Church seen as persecuted", ''The Milwaukee Sentinel'', September 15, 1984, page 4〕 That same year he wrote in his autobiography: "Our relations with the Jewish community have been the most painful to me personally. I say this with a heavy heart, since I was raised in the Jewish faith and am proud of my heritage."〔(To Bigotry, No Sanction ), Mose Durst, 1984〕
Durst currently teaches literature and history to middle school students at the Principled Academy, a Unification Church sponsored school in San Leandro, California, and is the chairman of the school's board. He has published seven books: ''To Bigotry, No Sanction: Reverend Sun Myung Moon and the Unification Church'', ''Principled Education'', ''Shakespeare’s Plays'', and ''Oakland, California: Towards A Sustainable City'',〔(Oakland, California: Towards A Sustainable City ), AuthorHouse.〕 and two children’s books.〔(The Principled Academy - Staff page ), school web site.〕
