From the Minister

Dear Friends,
 
Gun violence and spirituality.
 
Now, this may seem like an odd pairing at first glance. But is it… really? I don’t know about you, but I feel like these dots are begging to be connected. Especially since mass shootings have returned to our headlines with a nauseating frequency in the past few weeks.
 
There’s so much focus on gun ownership—and rightly. Red flag laws, expanding background checks, restricting easy access to ghost guns and assault weapons will certainly lead us in a better direction. 
 
But it’s not just about accessibility and ownership, is it? Don’t get me wrong. This plays a monumental role. Nonetheless, it’s also about how these weapons are being used in the hands of violent lunatics.
 
Two friends recently had this conversation:
 
Friend #1: I don’t want you to take my guns away.
Friend #2: I don’t want you to take my life away.
 
Can you relate?
 
In a nation where nearly 40,000 lives are lost each year we begin to understand that offering our “thoughts and prayers” to the broken hearted because their loved one was murdered while … going to work, going to school, going to the grocery store, etc. … means very little without taking action to prevent these tragic events from continuing to happen.
 
This is why gun violence isn’t a God problem. It’s an “us” problem. 
 
Since guns and identity are linked for many people, it’s really a question about spirituality. I’m not talking about organized religion. I’m talking about each one of us taking the responsibility to develop a spiritual practice to shift away from “fight or flight” around this subject and engage in taking meaningful action to heal the divide. And to do that… we have to connect with each other on a personal level which leads to empathy.
 
David Hogg, one of the survivor’s of the Parkland high school mass shooting (2-14-18), tweeted this earlier: “Today is going to be a historic day for the movement to end gun violence in the United States.” He also wrote, “Gun laws by themselves are not going to end gun violence. We must address the mindsets and injustices that cause someone to pick up a gun in the first place to ever create true peace.”
 
And so, for the executive orders announced today to help do this very thing, I am grateful.
 
There is much for which to be hopeful. We are the ones.
 
In Love and Unity,
Rev. Anne Tabor

UNITY'S FIVE BASIC PRINCIPLES

Principle #1:
There is only one Presence and one Power in the Universe and in my life, God the Good.

Principle #2:
Human beings have a spark of divinity within them, the Christ spirit within.
Their essence is of God, and therefore they are also inherently good. 

Principle #3:
Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking.
Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.

Principle #4:
Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good.

Principle #5:
Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough.
A person must live the truth he or she knows.
CORE VALUES
Spirit-Led:
Centered in the awareness of God's presence, we turn within for divine guidance in
all we do.
 
Love:
Love is our True Nature. We express the harmonizing power of love to see good everywhere and in everybody. Love binds together the whole human family.
 
Diversity:
We believe that all people are created with sacred worth. In a spirit of Unity, we embrace each person as an expression of God grounded in truth and love.
 
Connection:
We live, love, and laugh from our Oneness with God. We honor our inter-connectedness with each other, with all life, and the earth.
 
Abundance:
God is our Infinite Source of Good. We gratefully demonstrate prosperity in all areas
of our lives. We wisely use our wealth of resources to serve our spiritual community and the world.
 
Service:
We cultivate enlightened leadership by practicing the teachings of Jesus the Christ through sacred service. It is a blessing to serve locally and globally.
 
Integrity:
We consciously choose to practice living our Core Values and Unity Principles rather than simply professing them. We choose to communicate from the heart with authenticity and deliver on our commitments with reliability.
