Unity is a transdenominational Christian movement that teaches the
practical application in everyday life of the principles of Truth taught and
exemplified by Jesus Christ.
Unity is positive, practical Christianity. We
teach the effective, daily application of the principles of Truth taught and
exemplified by Jesus Christ. We promote a way of life that leads to health,
prosperity, happiness, and peace of mind.
Unity has established centers of study and worship throughout the world
where people discover and practice the Unity way of life. We address
physical, mental, and emotional needs through affirmative prayer and
spiritual education. We serve those who seek inspiration and prayer support
as well as those who use Unity teachings as their primary path of spiritual
growth.
We believe that all people are created with sacred worth, and we strive to
reach out to all who seek support and spiritual growth. Therefore, we
recognize the importance of serving all people in spiritually and
emotionally caring ways. Our ministries and outreaches are free of
discrimination on the basis of race, gender, age, creed, religion, national
origin, ethnicity, physical disability, and sexual orientation.
Our sincere desire is to create spiritually aware organizations that are
nondiscriminatory and support diversity.
What are
Unity's basic teachings?
We encourage you to explore and apply Unity teachings based on your own
spiritual understanding. We believe this spiritual understanding is enhanced
through reflective prayer and meditation. The five basic ideas that make up
the Unity belief system are:
1.
God is the source and creator of all. There is no other enduring power.
God is good and present everywhere.
2. We are spiritual beings,
created in God’s image. The spirit of God lives within each person;
therefore, all people are inherently good.
3. We create our life
experiences through our way of thinking.
4. There is power in
affirmative prayer, which we believe increases our connection to God.
5. Knowledge of these
spiritual principles is not enough. We must live them.
