unity village

''Unity is a positive, practical, progressive approach to Christianity based on the teachings of Jesus and the power of prayer. Unity honors the universal truths in all religions and respects each individual's right to choose a spiritual path.

Unity teaches that each person is a unique expression of God created with sacred worth. Living from that awareness transforms our lives and the world. Unity emphasizes the creative power of thought in our life experience. We refer to this as the Law of Mind Action. When we take personal responsibility to choose life-affirming thoughts, words and actions, we experience a more fulfilling and abundant life.

Affirmative prayer is the highest form of creative thought. It includes the release of counterproductive, negative thoughts, as well as holding in mind statements of spiritual truth. Through meditation, we experience the presence of God. Prayer and meditation heighten our awareness and thereby transform our lives. 


God is Spirit, the loving source of all that is. God is the one power, all good, everywhere present, all wisdom. God is divine energy, continually creating, expressing and sustaining all creation. In God, we live and move and have our being. In Unity, some other ways we speak of God are Life, Light, Love, Substance, Principle, Law and Universal Mind.''  (www.unity.org)

 in 1919 charles and myrtle fillmore, the spiritual founders of unity, bought 58 acres of land about 15 miles from downtown kansas city, missouri.  this land is now the head quarters of the unity movement.  there are beautiful buildings and gardens built on the land and it is used as a spiritual center of learning and worship.
there is a prayer request office here on the grounds that takes over 3,700 calls a day from people requesting prayers. there are many stories of peoples faith being uplifted, health restored, relationships renewed and prosperity realized.

mom and i only had a short time to walk around unity village but it was a very uplifting visit.
