"What does Unity teach? From my former spiritual center, Unity of Wilmington, NC: 'God is all, both visible and invisible, one presence, one mind, one power is all. This one that is all is perfect life, perfect love, and perfect substance. I am ever one with this perfection.'

God is absolute good, everywhere present. That is our foundation. We believe that the nature of God is absolute good. The question may arise, 'What about evil things?' Those things are temporary. The good that God is, is eternal, it is permanent, it is the truth that we teach.

Human beings have a spark of divinity within them, the Christ spirit within. Their very essence is of God, therefore they are inherently good. Every one of us is inherently good. Mankind was created in God's image, and God called it good.

Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking. Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought. This is not to say that if something happens in your life, you created it.

The power of prayer. Prayer is creating thinking that heightens the connection with God-mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good. This is the foundation of the Unity movement that Charles and Myrtle Fillmore discovered.

It's not just enough to know the truth, you have to live the truth you know. As the Quakers put it, 'Give feet to your prayers.' A spiritual life that is active and engaged is one in which the individual takes everything that they've learned and puts it into practice.

The Bible is our central textbook. It is a collection of writings, written in different times, in different languages, and for different audiences. It is a powerful source of wisdom and a source of inspiration. We read the Bible from a metaphysical point of view.
