What, when, why and how is New Thought and how does Unity fit within the concepts? Is Unity the only organisation that looks at spirituality from a different perspective? You will investigate the foundations of Unity as a contemporary movement that are explored in its roots in Transcendentalism, Christian Science and New Thought. Come explore Unity’s history and original cultural scene within a greater New Thought movement.
You will also have the opportunity to consider the possibilities of Unity as an evolving cultural phenomenon. This historical exploration includes exposure to ideas, beliefs, and philosophies of the main “architects” of this stream of spiritual thought that in some ways has connections back further than the last 100 years.
Upon completion of this course, learners will be able to:
- Explain New Thought and demonstrate how it is similar to and different from more traditional views of spirituality.
- Identify some of the key people and major events in the development of both the New Thought and Unity spiritual movements.
- Summarize the history of Unity School of Christianity and its ministries of prayer, publishing and education.
