When I was younger, my dad had an interest in Unity and we attended a couple of meetings. Unity Church followers believe in the divinity of Jesus, but only in the sense that all humans are the children of God and share that divine potential. They believe that Jesus was a master teacher who expressed this divine potential and sought to show others how to do the same. Unity uses the term "Christ" to mean the divinity in all people. For them Jesus is the great example of the Christ in physical form.

This is outside the mainstream of Christian belief and is unacceptable. It may also explain why a spiritualist (religion) person is welcome in a Unity Church.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

It is all the non-psychic adult children who live with their parents that cause all the trouble in that town.

Yes. We experienced it first hand after a loss in our family. Was with a well known medium from New York. His name is George Anderson. And the reading was legit.

That is a nice amusing twist on this thread.

"George Anderson is one of the country’s three major “psychic mediums.” He may be less well known than John Edward and James Van Praagh, but like the others he charges the bereaved a small fortune for the opportunity to ostensibly communicate with a departed loved one." -- Introduction by Gary Posner, MD

These mediums remind me of some of the touted high priced singles matchmaking/dating services except they promise to match the living with the permanently departed.

I would love to hear from people who have actually been to one of these mediums like Suzanne Giesemann.

I have no doubt that most mediums are money-hungry imposters; but a special few are genuine.
I had a private reading with Suzanne about 6 years ago. (She now has a two-year waiting list).
Suzanne is an evidence-based medium, and she offered me indisputable (to me) evidence of contact with the spirit world.
I've also attended Suzanne's monthly sessions at the Unity Church for the past seven years.
I've grown to believe that Suzanne is a genuine and gifted medium.
I understand that some people are skeptics -- belief systems are complex and personal.
I'm posting to answer Tal's question, not to try to change anyone's mind.

We once had to do research for a business matter and discovered that Wickun (witches) were the 7th largest religion. People will believe almost anything and PT Barnum made a fortunate understanding that fact.

What do witches use for a symbol? I think I saw something is a front yard yesterday

You bring up an important point (highlighted below). Some people's belief systems are based on faith and other people's belief systems are based on facts.

Someone mentioned that it was a Unitarian Church. Not a Christian one. "If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything."

A very interesting thought that gets one thinking.

Could it be that she's a member of that church?
Perhaps she's donating some of the proceeds to the church?

No, I don't think you're missing anything but I can't help but think there must be a common link that makes sense because on the surface, it doesn't.

These people are the lowest of the low. Preying on people with weak minds, many that have recently experienced loss.

Good to hear from you Barefoot.
