Welcome
to the Pathways of Unity Website!
Pathways
of Unity, Inc., a nonprofit religious corporation of the state of New Jersey, has two primary functions or branches:
(1) We function as an alternative church without walls, with adjunct ministries,
spiritual fellowship (including meditation and discussion), spiritual counseling, celebration of sacraments, spiritual education,
humanitarian aid, and chaplaincy services.
And
. . . we offer ministerial mentoring and education leading to ordination into the
Pathways of Unity ministry for those who feel called to serve in this capacity.
All ministries and functions operate under the umbrella of the Corporate Bylaws of Pathways of
Unity, Inc., and according to our Statement of Beliefs and Mission.
Pathways of Unity, Inc. is completely interfaith and non-denominational. Our "theology"
tends toward the metaphysical (beyond physics) and esoteric (inner) or mystical teachings, while recognizing all faiths as
having certain of such basic principles at their core.
We recognize that the Indwelling Christ (the Divine Spark, Infinite Divine Presence, Holy Spirit, the Lotus of Buddha,
the Krishna within) is seeded in each brother and sister human, of whatever faith.
THE NATURE OF GOD: We recognize God as being both formless and formed, both male and
female, yet without gender, according to each person's unique perception, the ONE, in whom we live and move and have
our own Divine Being, and who lives and moves and has Its being through us. This Supreme Being, Divine Oversoul, The Universe,
or Infinite Intelligence and Source of All, is Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent in and through all. (See Statement
of Beliefs page).
Pathways of Unity Church also offers Love & Light extended to you and yours through sensitive custom-tailored celebrations
of rites of passage that reflect (and respect) your own unique spirituality.
Pathways of Unity, Inc., does not operate
as a charity per se and we do not solicit funds, hold fundraising events, or ask for tithes or offerings. Our aim is to encourage
freewill giving of one human being to another wherever a need is seen. This means we encourage loving our neighbors as if
they were ourselves, the individual sharing of time, heart, hands, and money with those who are less fortunate. We also encourage
volunteerism wherever possible among both our members and our ministers.
Does God ever charge US for all the abundance supplied?
Pathways
of Unity offers spiritual counseling and spiritual mind healing to those in the South Jersey and Metro Philadelphia
area. These services of spiritual reconciliation and reintegration are aimed at helping people to find the Divine
Wisdom (God) Within that has all True answers for life's problems and that can help the spiritual aspirant to move forward
on his or her own unique journey without distance. We also recognize that God, All That Is, indwelling us, is THE Healer.
Email Rev. Di, our in-house spiritual counselor, for an
appointment or with prayer requests. We also offer premarital counseling for those who desire it.
**Disclaimer--Note: Pathways of Unity does not offer traditional mainstream psychological counseling or psychotherapy.
We do not "prescribe" medications or herbal preparations of any kind, we perform no physical manipulations, and we make no
claims of attempting to cure or treat any organic or physical disease of the mind or body. We refer you to your own competent physician,
psychologist, psychiatrist, or chiropractor for such treatments. However, we do maintain that the original cause of all
seeming human malady has its origin in some form or spiritual misalignment or disintegrity, and it is this that we "treat"
on a spiritual level, with the aim of restoring spiritual wholeness and identification with True Self, God Within, our Ultimate
Healer.
Pathways of Unity holds that it is the Divine
Spark in each of us, quite apart from religion, that impels us toward the realization of the True Self, which is God's Presence
individuated in US and acting through us.
Meister Eckhart said, "Though we are God's sons and daughters, we do not realize
it yet." Hindus, Agnostics, Buddhists, adherents of New Thought and Metaphysics,Taoists, Muslim, Christians, Universalists,
Humanists, and those who subscribe to no specific belief system~~all are the Holy Children of the Divine Source of All. This
ministry is about the Reconciliation of all things in ONE.
This "God Within"-centered path of sharing in true intimacy and unity focuses on the good in all of us.
It extends Love and Forgiveness to all God's children without rigid doctrine or dogma.
We have studied the Bible, the Koran, the Bhagavad Gita, and many other scriptures. We have delved into the works
of Carl Jung, of Georges Gurdjieff, of Joel Goldsmith, of Thoreau, and some modern tomes of quantum physics. Having
meditated upon them in our search, we have found in them the common threads of Truth and Wisdom that inspired them.
In them we have found much evidence of Man seeking to truly and intimately come to know his Creator God and of a God always
waiting and willing to make Itself known to Man.
Our conclusion is that LOVE, unconditional love, correctly understood
and then practiced to perfection, is the answer to all of humanity's sorrows and problems. It is LOVE, God Itself, that
will bring us into knowledge of Itself.
Our Jesus is the laughing Jesus, whose arms are around the shoulders of You
and Me, and of Krishna, Buddha and Mohammed and all their devotees. We are one! "I am you." -- Rumi
Study and Meditation
meetings will begin in when interest -- and Spirit -- indicate they should begin. Other
get-togethers and meetings may also be planned -- as soon as some of you Lights out there show interest! Meetings
will be held in the homes of those who volunteer to serve in this capacity. Pathways of Unity, Inc., is actively

We would love to be of service to
you in Spirit and in Truth. And we will have FUN doing it!
