Revision as of 03:01, 6 August 2009
Michael Jenkins is chairman of the ACLC. He served as president of the Unification Church of the United States from 2000 to 2009. He was appointed to the position by church founder Sun Myung Moon on April 16, 2000 after serving for the previous 2 years as the HSA Vice-President for evangelical outreach. Previously, Jenkins had pastored the Chicago Family Church of Peace in the Chicago, Illinois area for seventeen years.
In 2000 Jenkins invited Archbishop George Augustus Stallings, Jr., the founder of the Imani Temple African-American Catholic Congregation, to become active as a leader in the Unification Movement. As of May, 2008, Jenkins was still serving as president and, along with other high-ranking members of the Women's Federation for World Peace and other Unification Church affiliated organizations, met with U.S. President George W. Bush at the Bush Library at College Station, Texas.
Jenkins has been quoted by the media as a spokesperson for the Unification Church, on occasions including a fish poaching case involving church members and a related lawsuit and the marriage of Roman Catholic archbishop Emmanuel Milingo in a Unification Church Blessing Ceremony.
