This paper aims to revisit a model of the realization of the principle of the Co-existence in Unification Thought that emerged in Korean rural history through the example of a ‘co-operative village.’ A co-operative is a voluntary association created by citizens to co-operatively solve common needs in their lives. The Unification Thought's principle of co-existence has many similarities with co-operatives in that it seeks to realize an economy of true love that contributes to the welfare of all people from the perspective of the human family. This paper presents Song-ra Village in Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do in the 1960s and 1970s as an example of a ‘co-operative village’. Under the influence of the agricultural co-operative movement in the 1960s, the residents of Song-ra village established the ‘Song-ra Agricultural Co-operative’, and the businesses of the cooperative were established and operated such as village shop, a rice mill in the 1960s, a pumping station in the 1970s, a women’s shop, a rice bank, a grain bank, a credit co-operative, a bale factory, and a Credit Union. This paper is significant in that it presents the possibility of realizing the Unification Thought's principle of Co-existence, an economic community of true love, at the local level through the example of a small-scale co-operative movement of villagers who pursued the common interests of the villagers.
