UCEC emphasizes the belief that the experience of the Presence of God is available and within at all times, but awaits your choice. Our True essence is divine, everlasting spirit, "created in the image and likeness of God." Unity does not demand that you subscribe to a specific creed. Unity does not ask whether you are a member of some particular organization. Unity does not require you to perform certain rites and practices. In all these matters, it leaves you free. This is one of the great characteristics of Unity. It leaves people free to respond to the Holy Spirit in the spiritual practice as directed from within, by the inner Guide. We support you in your spiritual journey, as long as your practices are peaceful and loving to God and people.
Unity's Five Principles
- God is Source and Creator of all; Absolute Good everywhere present.
- We are eternal spiritual beings with human bodies and minds created in God's image (Holy Spirit). Since our essence is divine all people are potentially amazing.
- Our life experiences are formed by our way of thinking. Changing our way of thinking will change our life.
- Through prayer and meditation, our hearts and minds become aligned with God and we are transformed by allowing our divine essence (Christ-likeness) to shine forth.
- Knowing about these spiritual priciples is not enough, we must live and share them. Then the Truth will set us free!
