- The One World Family Commune (OWFC), is a new age movement commune. It was formed in 1967 in San Francisco by 51 year old year old artist, café owner and UFO enthusiast Allen Noonan, who opened the first vegetarian restaurant in the city, completely operated by the commune's members. As a new age movement the OWFC practices the Everlasting Gospel, a combination of UFO beliefs, Christianity based themes of good and evil, but expressed through the positive & negative uses of the life force, along with new age beliefs like spirituality and higher states of being. In 1973 it was officially registered as The Universal Industrial Church of the New World Comforter (UIC). One of the primary goals of the OWF/UIC is expressed in The World Bill Of Rights written by its founder who by that time changed his name to Allen Michael. The commune was most active in Berkeley, California where it ran the One World Family Natural Foods and Entertainment Center, a restaurant, clothing store and a performance hall, while living in two large, former Greek system houses. During that time Noonan officially changed his name to Allen Michael. By 1975 the commune began decreasing in size, and relocated to Stockton, California. OWFC has been politically active throughout, taking part in the anti Vietnam War movement, promoting pacifism and rejection of capitalism. In late 1970's as an alternative to political parties the Synthesis Party was created to express universal world goals. Noonan as Allen Michael declared his running for President of the United States in 1980, 1984 and 1996 as a write in candidate. In 1982, the same year Noonan as Allen Michael was also running as a write in candidate for Governorship of California, Statements by the Synthesis Party including The World Bill Of Rights and views on World Disarmament were submitted to the United Nations Second Special Session On Disarmament. In 1988 inspired by the Synthesis Party's 1985 proposed resolution for a UN World Peace Agreement and an outline for a Global Nuclear Arms Ban Treaty (GNABT), first written in 1984 by a OWFC member, a proposed GNABT was submitted to the UN Third Special Sessions on Disarmament by The One World Family Forum On Nuclear Disarmament. Noonan died in 2010 when he was 93. At that time there were four people in their 60s living together maintaining a web site for the Everlasting Gospel. (en)
