Response to Rich B

You're not alone! Unity offers many resources for those who consider themselves Christian but are questioning traditional Christian beliefs and seeking alternative approaches. It's important to note, however, that Unity does not simply replace one dogma with another. We offer and suggest different interpretations and perspectives, but we do not "tell" you what to believe. Spiritual beliefs are deeper, fuller, and more authentic when you work them out for yourself, even as you seek guidance and inspiration from others. In Unity we encourage you to take whatever of our teachings you find helpful and leave the rest. We have some free literature we can send you to get you started, and we'll be sending this response to you by e-mail as well along with a request for your full name and address if you would like to receive this material. You can also find information on this Web site; especially here http://unity.org/aboutunity/whatWeBelieve/index.html and here http://unity.org/association/aboutUs/whatWeBelieve/spiritualLiving.html. Once you have a general idea of Unity's teachings, principles, and approach to Christianity, you'll be better prepared to explore further and ask more in-depth questions. For that, we encourage you to join our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/beunity, click on the "Discussions" tab, and start posting! Other options include taking online courses, especially our introductory course, Unity for Today http://unity.org/education/see/distanceLearning/selfStudy/unityForToday/index.html, or studying material available from our online store, such as ALTERNATIVES or THE QUEST. Our prayers are with you as you continue to question and examine your beliefs and journey along your path of spiritual discovery.

Questions About Unity and Christianity

I would like to know if there is someone at Unity who can answer questions regarding Christianity, the Bible and faith? I am a believer in the Christian way but have some reasoning problems with standard Christian beliefs regarding the virgin birth of Jesus, also the crucifixion and resurrection. Thanks
