My thoughts immediately went back to proof points from their lives that illustrate how these principles work. My parents used these same manifestation principles years ago.

I didn’t know much about these two spiritual leaders before attending, however, I learned today that Myrtle healed her tuberculosis by applying many of the principles she had learned. I found no reference to numbers that the Unity Church ordains more women than other religions, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that of the 600+ websites I perused, most had women as pastors.Īfter the introduction, Reverend Linda welcomed guests, then opened a book about the history of Charles and Myrtle Fillmore – the founders of the Unity movement. Now let me just say that from my initial research, here’s one area where the Unity Church excels – the ordination of women. After that, she introduced Reverend Linda Martella-Whitsett. (YAY!) The “Celebration Host” named Pamela walked to the podium that stood at the right of the stage and she led us all in stating the Vision of the Church from the words on the screen. Kids of all ages added to the sweet sounds as light chatter filled the room.Īfter that, we were asked to sit. I guess being happy makes you a bit clappy, because they continued clapping during most of the songs. Churchgoers immediately began clapping to the music. We were asked to stand as the words to a song hit the large overhead screen. In fact, I’d say that this group rivaled the Congregation Agudas Achim for the happiness award. I knew from the start that these people were a true and vibrant community. Two guitarists, a keyboardist and a drummer played on the small stage at front.Ī cacophony of sound continued to rise as people came in and greeted one another. Once allowed in, I walked into a room of cushioned chairs located on each side of the main aisle. Apparently another meditation service or class was going on before the 11:00 service. Today, I arrived so early that I had to wait outside the church doors with other early birds. Employing old technology for communication is like using a horse and buggy to pick up the elderly for church services.

A rare few (mostly from Washington state oddly enough) were well done and provided a progressive feel with engaging content.ĭefinitely something for the Unity churches to work on, because most people initially judge a company or organization from its website.

Websites that were probably sold by one company or given as a template from the Unity headquarters – because they were all alike.

Websites with the look and feel of the 90s – old and outdated with little useful information.

They all fell basically into three categories: My research took me to well over 600 websites this past week and sadly, most Unity sites were horrendous in viewer engagement. I usually get a sense of the whole denomination by Google searching every church across the U.S. When looking up a Unity church, you probably won’t be impressed – at least I wasn’t. Unfortunately, people will typically go to a church website before visiting a church. So, I wanted people to know a bit more about Unity Churches and what their services are like. This church had a dramatic impact on their lives as I saw my father go from being quite negative to one of the most positive people I knew.

Shortly before moving to Colorado, my mother and father attended the Unity Church of Beaumont, which I believe is now called the Unity Church of Southeast Texas. Sunday #33 – Unity Church of San Antonio – 1723 Lawndale, San Antonio Why this Church?
