Picture
Co-founded in 1889 by Charles & Myrtle Fillmore in Kansas City, MO, Unity is rooted in this couple’s desire for physical healing. Both were well versed in world religions. Myrtle discovered that by repeating the affirmative prayer, "I  am a child of God, therefore, I do not inherit sickness," and praying for  perfect health for two years, she was healed of terminal tuberculosis. Charles  used the same type of prayer that affirmed God’s presence within him, and he was  healed of injuries that had hampered him since childhood. Their friends soon  began practicing affirmative prayer, the Fillmores began writing about their beliefs, and the Unity movement was born.
  
It was never intended to become a religion, but  evolved into one as interest in these gentle metaphysical ideas grew. The  Fillmores never insisted that those who sought their help forsake medical  attention. Unity supports the medical community and still believes in people getting help in every way they can. Unity is built on the belief in the healing  power of prayer.
