At least four operatives of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church are on the federal payroll or getting government grants through President George W. Bush's "Healthy Marriage Initiative" and other "faith-based" programs.
An investigative report by the San Francisco Chronicle found troubling connections between a government - sponsored "Certified Marriage Education Training Seminar" and Moon front groups. The Oakland seminar was led by Josephine Hauer, a graduate of Moon's Unification Theological Seminary in New York and a "marriage specialist" in the employ of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
While Hauer promoted "healthy marriage culture" as a federal employee , critics are concerned about her connection to Moon's organizations. Before working at HHS, she directed the marriage education program at the University of Bridgeport which was taken over by a Moon group in 1992.
The three-day government seminar awarded certificates to participants issued by her former university.
