Gun controversy

In early 2018, Hyung Jin Moon, co-founder of the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary Church and Southern Poverty Law Center-labeled "Anti-LGBT cult leader", announced an upcoming church event with guns. The event, a marriage vows renewal ceremony that asked participants to bring their AR-15 rifles, was to be held on February 28 in Newfoundland, Pennsylvania. Neighbors of the church came out to protest the insensitivity of having the AR-15 rifles at the event so soon after the Parkland, Florida shooting that killed 17 people. Due to the increased gun threat caused by Moon's ceremony, the students of Wallenpaupack Area South Elementary were relocated on February 28.
