Unity of Wimberley

Remembering Faith

Advent is a season of preparation, as we celebrate once again the birth of the Christ in us, an awareness of our divine consciousness. But first, we need to remember it’s possible!

Thanks (and) Giving

We have an annual holiday to be grateful for all we have received.  But what puts the "give" in Thanksgiving?

So Long Jesus

A friend says Unity is for people who want to be Buddhist but aren’t ready to give up Jesus. Or God. Wait, what exactly do we have to leave behind on this path?

Lamentations

The death and destruction we see on the nightly news are nothing new for our planet. The Bible is full of pain, grief and suffering. One whole book is dedicated to “lamentations,” bemoaning the destruction of Jerusalem 2,500 years ago. What are we positive thinkers to make of life’s real tragedies?

Do We Belong Here?

We know Jesus was inclusive, conversing with the misfits, oddballs and pariahs of his day – even women! And he was relentless about caring for the poor. How are we doing by his standards, individually and as a church?

Don't Hold Your Breath For The Second Comming

Jesus was called a blasphemer when he linked himself with God, but we all are God, like a vine and its branches.  That means the salvation of humanity - and the ongoing creation of the earth - are up to us.

This Story Is Not About Sex

The
Samaritan woman at the well who’d had five husbands is not a tale of
morality. It’s about the fate of the Jews. A few crucial historical
facts cast some familiar Bible stories in a whole new light.

Don't Take It So Literally

Rev.
Ellen begins a new series about the mystical Book of John, the gospel
most often used to argue that Jesus is the only way. But even the Bible
tells us not to take it literally.

The Power of Understanding

The sculpture our church donated to the Unity Tower garden represents the divine power of Understanding. What are we supposed to understand?

Thank God Our Time is Now

If we look at what is happening in the world today we might ask, what could the author of this quote possibly be thinking? Rev. Ellen's first Unity Minister, Rev. E J Niles of Fairfax, VA visits today with a provocatively titled talk. Rev. Niles is an expert in "spiral dynamics," so if you have any interest in this subject, you will be interested in her talk!
