Born to Manifest the Glory

Unitarianism is a Christian theological movement named for the affirmation that God is one person, in direct contrast toTrinitarianism, which defines God as three persons coexisting consubstantially in one being.[1] Unitarians maintain that Jesus of Nazareth is in some sense the "son" of God (as all humans are children of the Creator), but that he is not the one God himself.[2]Though they may believe that he was inspired by God in his moral teachings, and can be considered a savior.

 

History

all Unitarians perceive Christ as human rather than divine. Unitarianism is also known for the rejection of several other conventional Christian doctrines, including the soteriological doctrines of original sin and predestination, and, in more recent history, biblical inerrancy. While Unitarians in previous centuries accepted the doctrine of punishment in an eternal hell, few do today. In J. Gordon Melton's Encyclopedia of American Religions it is classified among "the 'liberal' family of churches.

The Prayer

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our Light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?"
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are born to manifest the glory of God that in within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
