Message from the Minister
Message from the Minister
Dear Spiritual Community,
Donna Studebaker, Helen Wright, and I recently returned from the Unity People's Convention in Kansas City filled with the many insights and experiences from the presenters. It was a great time of reconnection with old friends, discovering new ones, and hearing messages of spiritual truth from our fellow spiritual travelers.
For me, watching my friend and colleague, Reverend Pat Williamson, senior minister at Unity of Minneapolis, receive the Charles Fillmore Award was a privilege. I first got to know Pat when he came to Cincinnati in 2000 as the new co-minister at New Thought Unity Center on the eastside of town. My church was on the westside.
We often met at monthly minister's luncheons and regional events. At that time, I was the president of the Great Lakes Unity Region, and we were in the midst of hiring new Youth & Family and Uniteen Coordinators for the region. Pat stepped in and served on our interview team, and offered his church as a meeting place. Later, he moved to Unity of Minneapolis in Golden Valley where he's served for the past thirteen years. I can think of no more worthy a recipient for this award. Pat and I continue to keep up with each other through monthly minister's luncheons in the Cities. On October 12, Unity of Minneapolis will celebrate its 100th anniversary. We join with that spiritual community in honoring this milestone, especially since they helped ours get its start back in the late 1980's.
If you'd like to hear more about our experiences at the convention you are invited to an informal gathering on Wednesday, July 17, 6:30 p.m. We'll all be there to share what we learned.
With richest blessings,
Alden

The Power for July is "Understanding"
Affirmation:
My understanding of Truth deepens and directs my life.
Understanding:
T
he ability to know, perceive, comprehend and apprehend.
The disciple is Thomas.
He represents the ability to see beyond appearances to reality.
The corresponding color is
gold and the location is the front of the brain.
Build Something to Stand On
By Winifred Wilkinson Hausmann
Understanding is important in developing our spiritual nature, because it is the faculty which puts feet under our prayers and gives our spiritual activity something to stand on. Blind faith, faith without understanding of the spiritual laws, may get results on occasion, but our spiritual growth demands a base that is more dependable, understanding that is grounded in spiritual Truth.
Thomas, is the disciple who stands for the faculty of understanding. A study of his contact with Jesus gives us some insight into the way we must develop our own ability to think and learn to make deductions and draw conclusions so that we may awaken this spiritual quality in us.
Thomas didn't always have spiritual understanding but he wanted to learn. He didn't mind asking questions, and he listened to Jesus' answers.Thomas is probably best known for doubting the news of the Resurrection when he heard it secondhand from the other disciples. Jesus respected Thomas' need to know firsthand.
The awakening of our own faculty of understanding starts with questioning-questioning the old ways of thinking that may have been taken for granted. The desire for understanding leads to thinking about what is learned and seeking to put it all together in a body of information that will provide a basis for living.
Understanding is different from wisdom. Charles Fillmore defines wisdom as "intuitive knowing; spiritual intuition," and understanding as "the ability of the mind to apprehend and realize the laws of thought and the relation of ideas to one another."
To put it more simply, wisdom knows. Understanding knows why. When your understanding is developed in both head and feet, not only will you have the light in mind, but you will also have the ability to apply it in your world.
