About UnityAbout Unity
Unity is a positive, practical, progressive approach to Christianity. Unity is nondenominational, non-dogmatic, and introduces an enlightened Christianity which embraces the universal truths in other religions.
Unity’s emphasis is on a path of spiritual awakening that moves humanity toward oneness through love, forgiveness, and acceptance of all people. Unity’s focus is not on sin, but in creating a healthy relationship with God which is free of fear and guilt. We take an extremely positive approach to life, emphasizing the good in people and all of life.Unity does not practice all of the traditional Christian church ceremonies such as water baptism and Holy Communion. It sees baptism as an inner activity of the Holy Spirit and communion as the daily practice of prayer.
Below are brief explanations of some of Unity’s teachings.
God: God is Spirit, everywhere present; intelligence and life energy. God’s external nature is love and goodness, which can be accessed at all times by being in the present moment.
Jesus: Jesus was an enlightened divine, master teacher of universal, spiritual truths designed to help all people awaken to their inherent spiritual potential to fulfill the true image and likeness that they are at their core. His teachings are meant to move people from a state of separation from God’s goodness into a state of oneness with God and all life.Jesus was the example of a Son of God in expressions and called every person to awaken to this Christ nature in them. “All who are led by the Spirit of God are Sons of God.”
Humankind: Every person is a creation of God and capable of being a light in this world. Therefore, at one’s core is a divine nature of goodness that every person is either asleep or attuned to in varying degrees. A deepening conscious relationship with God helps this God-Seed or divine nature to blossom.
The Bible: Unity recognizes that the Bible is a complex collection of writings compiled over many centuries. It is historical, mystical and metaphysical in its content. An understanding of its symbology, allegories and parables reveals an inner evolutionary journey toward spiritual awakening.
Unity Teachings: Unity emphasizes a mind-heart connection to God and spiritual principles as a way of transforming all areas of one’s life.
