Inclusivity Statement and Prayer 〰️
Unity Church of the Hills is an open-minded and open-hearted spiritual community that embraces all as expressions of the Divine. We intentionally create a safe space that honors the diversity and uniqueness of every person. We lovingly welcome people of all backgrounds, beliefs and political views, while valuing the inherent worth and dignity of everyone.
Acknowledging the uneasiness and polarization in our current culture, we unite as one in prayer:
Loving Spirit, we know and affirm the beauty of each human soul and acknowledge that we are interconnected with one another. We cultivate the space in our hearts and in our spiritual community that nurtures the sacredness of all and embrace them with compassion and understanding. We honor the differences among us while grounding ourselves in a faith that unites us. We extend love, grace, kindness, and generosity to one another. And so it is, and so it shall be. Amen.
Five Basic Unity Principles
Just as there are principles of nature that govern our physical existence, there are also Spiritual Principles that are immutable and unchanging. In Unity, we teach there are five “immutable and unchanging” principles that guide our lives and facilitate our transformations. When we discover these principles and practice them in our lives, we awaken to an entirely different way of being.
The five principles at the foundation of Unity’s teachings are:
There is only One Power and One Presence in the Universe and in my life, God the Good, Omnipotent.
We are Spiritual Beings created in God’s Image. The Spirit of God lives within each person; therefore, all people are inherently good.
We create our life experiences through our thoughts and feelings.
There is Divine Power in meditation and affirmative prayer which increases our awareness of our oneness with God.
Knowing and understanding these Spiritual Principles, also called Truth, is not enough. We must live them.
Unity is a positive, practical, and progressive approach to Christianity based on the teachings of Jesus, coupled with the power of affirmative prayer. Unity honors the universal truths in all religions and respects each individual’s right to choose a spiritual path.
Unity seeks to apply the teachings of Jesus, as well as the teachings of other spiritual masters that similarly resonate. We affirm the power of affirmative prayer and help people to experience a stronger connection with God in their lives. We emphasize the practical, everyday application of spiritual principles to help you live a more abundant, meaningful life.
