Enjoy a complementary download from Reverend Judith Elia's Sunday Service at Unity Church for Creative Living. 

 Unity Leaves No One Out is a talk that explores two significant people within the Unity Movement, James Dillet Freeman and May Rowland. James Dillet Freeman was the poet laureate for Unity. He wrote many prayers, poems and booklets for Unity including one entitled Unity Leaves No One Out as well as two prayers that are on the moon, the Prayer for Protection and I am There. May Rowland was appointed to the director of Silent Untiy straight out of high school. She served Silent Untiy for for over 50 years. She grew the consciousness of Unity through her committment to the movement and through her willingness to embrace new ideas. She has said this about Unity: "Unity and Silent Unity is simply a group of people who are learning the Truth, teaching the Truth and practicing the Truth. It was my job to stand for the Unity teachings, so I stood for the Truth that I knew, I affirmed the Truth and I waited for the results. Truth is Truth."
