Unity is a world wide Christian organization, over a century old.
Because of similarity in names, Unity has on occasion been confused
with other organizations. However there is no connection between Unity
and Unitarianism or the Unification church.
Unity is an extremely positive approach to life, seeking to accent the
good in people and all of life. God is Spirit, everywhere present, the
One and only spirit behind, in and through all things, visible and
invisible.
Unity denies the existence of any power or presence opposed to God. It
sees that there are evil appearances and sufferings in the World, but
ascribes these to man's ignorance and erroneous use of God's laws of
life.
Unity proclaims the divinity of Jesus but goes further and assures that
you, too, are a child of God and therefore divine in nature. Salvation
is the expanding realization of one's innate divinity and perfectibility
through living the life demonstrated my Jesus.
Unity explains the mind as your connecting link with God, or Divine
Mind, and shows how the action of your mind affects your body and
circumstances.
Prayer is not seen as a way of changing or manipulating God, but for
expanding and transforming your mind, and thus changing you. Prayer is
a way of aligning man's consciousness with God.
Unity seeks to relate religion to daily needs, affirming that for every
need there is God's perfect answer. Its main textbook is the Bible and
relates its lessons to your life and everyday experiences.
Unity does break from tradition some in that is has no creedal
requirements, dogma, ritual or ecclesiastical garb. Unity chooses to
believe there is good in every religion.
Unity sees worship as serving God by uplifting and glorifying God's
spirit in man, in positive, joyous ways. It seeks not to emphasize
one's sins of the past, but instead give attention to the good that
exists in every person and what can be done with the "now" to transform
one's self and one's life.
Its main concern is not so much with a "future life" but with teaching
people how to live fully in the present, seeing the good in all things.
Unity also believes in eternal life and views the present moment as
part of eternal life.
Unity is nondenominational and welcomes in dignity and love, people of
all races, colors, religions, lifestyles, social background and economic
levels.
