"Happiness doesn't lie in conspicuous consumption and the relentless amassing of useless crap. Happiness lies in the person sitting beside you and your ability to talk to them. Happiness is clear-headed human interaction and empathy. Happiness is home. And home is not a house--home is a mythological conceit. It is a state of mind. It's a place of communion and unconditional love. It is where, when you cross its threshold, you finally feel at peace."
--Dennis Lehane
At Unity of Charlotte, we end our mission statement each
time we read it with a hearty “Welcome Home.” Contemporary writer Dennis Lehane
easily could have been talking about the feeling many people have when they
first experience the welcoming love at Unity.
“Where have you been all of my life?” is also a common
reaction. Unity was founded as a means
of teaching Practical Christianity. The
question is sometimes asked, “Is Unity a Christian movement?”
Short answer:
Yes.
The classes and lessons experienced
at Unity of Charlotte will allow someone to put into use the concepts taught by
Jesus over 2,000 years ago.
The
teachings are brought into the context of modern life and applied to every-day
situations.
The Unity movement was founded more than a century ago to
facilitate learning and healing at the spiritual level.
At Unity of Charlotte, we have no use for guilt.
We welcome all just as they are.
Drop by 401 East Arrowood Rd. Charlotte, NC any
Sunday at 10:30 and check it out. You’ll
be welcomed home.
-Alan Batten for Unity of Charlotte
