What is Unity?
Unity is living life affirmatively
Unity is positive and practical Christianity, and is more a way of life than a religion. We seek to apply the principles taught by Jesus in a practical way that enhances our way of living in the world today. Unity Principles teach the practical application in daily life of the principles of truth taught and exemplified by Jesus Christ, as interpreted in the light of modern-day experience. Unity is a way of life that leads to health, prosperity, happiness, and peace of mind. Unity Worldwide Ministries, in cooperation with the Unity Institute, has established centers of study and worship throughout the world where people study and practice the Unity way of life.
Unity was founded in 1889 in the United States by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore. A ministry based on prayer and healing, Unity teachings focus on the loving nature of God, the inherent divinity in everyone and the power of affirmative prayer. As followers of Unity Principles, we cherish and serve all people in uplifting, spiritual and emotionally caring ways, and we teach unconditional love, acceptance and inclusion of all people. We believe the teachings of Jesus are about open doors and open minds. We believe that all of God's people are divinely created with equally sacred worth. We strive to reach out to all who are seeking in order to facilitate positive spiritual growth. In our effort to reach out and be an example to all peoples (as Jesus commissioned and He, himself, exemplified in action and deed), it is with joy, love, and celebration of our diversity that we affirm this unified position.

Unity's Five Basic Principles
1. God is absolute good, everywhere present.
2. Human beings have a spark of divinity within them, the Christ spirit within. Their very essence is of God, and therefore they are also inherently good.
3. Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking. Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.
4. Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God-Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good.
5. Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough. A person must also live the truth that he or she knows.
