Rev. Phyllis Grace enjoys sharing Unity teachings because they offer a powerful and exquisite model for living a happy, peaceful and abundant life. As she has witnessed in her own life, as well as the lives of others over the years.
She grew up in Adelaide, trained as a teacher, married at an early age and had 5 children. She divorced in 1976, and within 10 years found herself in another unhealthy relationship which took her to Sydney. Eventually she found herself returning to Adelaide.
She recalls, “As I drove back to Adelaide I felt a strong urge to move to Perth. Although I felt it would just be running away, the feelings would not let go. So 18 months later, on my own, I moved half way across the country, in the hopes of studying and practicing Educational Kinesiology. I fell in love with my new life.”
Even though that plan did not come to fruition, she was guided once again to something else, and in late 1991 found herself in Unity. On one of her first visits to Unity Centre of Perth, she asked the minister “What is Unity?” What Phyllis heard inspired her to wanting to learn more. She was given a copy of H. Emilie Cady’s book Lessons in Truth and contacted Unity in Brisbane to start studying.
After just over two years of travel between Perth and Brisbane and several correspondence courses Phyllis moved to Brisbane to complete Licensed Unity Teacher studies, then entered Unity’s seminary in the United States and was ordained in 1997. Since then Rev. Phyllis has ministered communities in Adelaide and Perth. After 9 years of church ministry, she became part of the teaching team for UNS. Since her ordination she has been actively involved as a member of AAUL (Australian Association of Unity Leaders) and UNS holding positions as Treasurer, President and Director of UNS.
Phyllis enjoys reading spiritual books, as well as fiction stories about Australia, gardening, walking and spending time with her family.
