Honoring Diversity Within the Unity Movement

     We believe that all people are created with sacred worth. Therefore, we recognize the importance of serving all people within the Unity family in spiritually and emotionally caring ways. We strive for our ministries, publications and programs to reach out to all who seek Unity support and spiritual growth. It is imperative that our ministries and outreaches be free of discrimination on the basis of race, color, gender, age, creed, religion, national origin, ethnicity, physical disability or sexual orientation. Our sincere desire is to ensure that all Unity organizations are nondiscriminatory and support diversity.

     In our effort to reach out to all people as did our Way Shower, Jesus Christ, we support the modification of our facilities to make them accessible to all people, regardless of physical challenges; the translation of our materials into braille and other languages; and respect for the wonderful variety of human commitments and relationships.

     We encourage ministers, teachers and others within Unity to honor the strength of diversity within their spiritual communities. It is with love and in celebration of our unity, in the midst of our wondrous diversity, that we affirm this position.

Diversity Plus
Diversity in all areas and ways; for the most part diversity has always been an integral part of Unity philosophy. Nonjudgemental acceptance of all us glorious human beings is one reason I'll continue to support and care about the Unity Movement. A new Unity Church in Gary, Indiana - Unity Love in Action Ministry - is one of my main churches of choice. An integral part of this upcoming and upwardly mobile congregation is STITCH, founder Mr. Douglas Michael Harper, visiting here (June 15, 2010) from Chattanooga, Tennessee. In support of the GLBT Community, STITCH = Standing Together in Diversity Changing Humanity. In cooperation with 1st Unitarian Universalist Church of Hobart, Indiana and northwest Indiana Unity, as well as diverse supporters from every walk of life and every religion, a Leadership for Teens workshop and Lock-In was held Friday June 4 through Saturday morning June 5, 2010. So glad to report it was incredibly successful. This is DIVERSITY in ACTION ....and the Circle grows. Thank you, Spirit Divine! Blessed Be.
