I Am Peace

I Am Peace

I stand for peace in the presence of conflict.

I stand for love in the presence of hatred and fear.

I stand for forgiveness in the presence of injury.

I know there is only one power and presence – God.

I respect the many ways to worship God.

I honor the many names for God and the many paths to God.

I believe God loves all of us equally.

I turn to God for guidance in these challenging times.

I urge all nations to pursue peace; this honors all faith traditions.

As I pursue peace, I honor the God of all faith traditions.

I stand for peace in my lifetime.

4-Week Study on The Bond by Lynne McTaggart Starts Sunday 2/5

Is 2012 the end…

of the world?

or the end of the old paradigm of competitive individualism and inevitable conflict?

Do you believe 2012 will be a year of increasing accusations and further pulling apart – politically, socially, economically and internationally?  Is there another way to look at it all?

According to Lynn McTaggert, author of The Bond, “Nature’s basic drive is not competition, as classic evolutionary theory maintains, but wholeness…The essential impulse of all life is a will to connect rather than a drive to compete.”  She describes this will to connect as the glue that holds us, the world, in fact the universe, together.  She calls it the bond.

Over the next four weeks, as a part of the Season of Peace, Rev. Victoria will share ideas from The Bond in her Sunday talks and conduct classes on Tuesday evenings (beginning Feb 7, 7pm) and Wednesday afternoons (beginning Feb 8, 1pm) based on the book’s concepts. The class is being offered on a donation basis.

Regarding The Bond, Marianne Williamson has said.”There is something on every page of this book to make you jump for joy!”  Lynne Twist says,”The Bond brilliantly reveals the essence of who we are…Read this book. It will open your heart and change your life.”

The Bond can be purchased at The UNITY Center after Sunday services and during office hours (10-3, Mon – Wed).  Email theunitycenter@worldhealing.org to register.

Check out this video to learn more about the book, The Bond.
