Each month, we will highlight personal reflections on why individuals chose to attend and become members of Unity Spiritual Center.
Why I Chose Unity
By Steven Boyle
Growing up through one of the many traditional Christian belief systems, I always had in the back of my mind the question of “which one is right?”. It is estimated that there are now over 45,000 denominations of Christianity alone! This has led me to believe that, there is no right or wrong when it comes to believing in God; God just is, and we are all connected through God no matter where our spiritual path leads us. This is the beauty of the word “Unity”.
I came across Unity after some research and reading because I wanted to expand my spirituality for myself, and also for my family. I did not want to be held to believe what some denomination previously designated as the “correct way” – doctrines, creeds, catechisms etc. – I wanted to let myself think and create my relationship with God. Now, I also don’t think there is anything wrong with the other way either! But for me personally, I needed to expand my thought process. My family and I have been overwhelmed with happiness since we chose Unity, and look forward to going to church every Sunday at Unity of Sheboygan! One of my favorite quotes I have read since joining comes from founder Charles Fillmore who said “I reserve the right to change my mind” – Keep an open mind!
