Unity Anglican Synod is a church founded in the Anglican ethos and reaching for the truth of God in the New Thought movement. We fully embrace both traditions. We affirm the historicity of the Christian church as the transmitted in the Anglican expression of the church catholic. We also embrace the New Thought ethos as it affirms who we truly are in the eyes of God, expressions of Divine.
We acknowledge the virtue of "reason" and we apply it to our relationship with God and our fellow man. We embrace all of humanity as our family and God as our source and supply. Far too long have the walls of religion separated us from one another. We are called to share the light of Christ with all. This includes those who are alienated from society and those within the Christian community. We provide a point of connection for others and reach out to agnostics, catholics, protestants, orthodox, liberal, metaphysical, mystical and all others.
Unity Anglican Synod exists for two express purposes.
First, we exist to provide a non-judgemental place of worship for all who choose to embrace the mystery of faith. Our primary purpose is to commune with God. We do this by mixing the majesty of the ancient catholic liturgy with the affirming, self actualizing philosophy of the New Thought movement. Our worship is not unlike that which could be found in most Anglican or New Thought churches.
Secondly, we exist to provide a philosophy, science and art of God's way of natural health and healing to a sick and dying world. We do this through training ministers and laypersons to be educators of the truths of natural health found in our monastic, catholic and new thought traditions as well as being found in our scriptural traditions. All health must necessarily include a physical, mental/emotional, and a spiritual component. Modern healthcare, or as it chould be more appropriately named sickcare, denies the spiritual component of health. Before physicians were innoculating the sick and providing unnatural, highly refined phamacueticals hat could maime and kill, our monastic and mystic forefathers were caring for the sick via natual means. These means included bodywork, herbs, prayer, affirmations, diet, and exercise. Utilizing these methods allowed the sick to regain health from where it truly originates, God.
