The History of Unity

 

Unity is a not-for-profit organization based on the teachings of Jesus and the healing power of prayer. It was founded in 1889 by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore in Kansas City, Missouri, and was rooted in this couple's desire for physical healing. Both were well versed in world religions.

 

Myrtle, who suffered from tuberculosis, was healed after two years of repeating the affirmative prayer, "I am a child of God, therefore, I do not inherit sickness," and praying for perfect health. Charles used the same type of prayer that affirmed God's presence within him, and he was healed of injuries that had hampered him since childhood. Their friends soon began practicing affirmative prayer, the Fillmore's began writing about their beliefs, and the Unity movement was born.
