Unity Book Study Returns: Lessons in Truth & Jesus and the Disinherited

Wednesday Nights, 6:30pm | In person at Unity or online over Zoom

There’s something special about coming together midweek to pause, reflect, and grow—together.


Our Wednesday Book Study Group resumes tonight. Wednesday, April 8, at 6:30pm, and we’d love to have you join us.

This is a space for thoughtful conversation, spiritual exploration, and meaningful connection—whether you join us in person or online.


Each month, we explore a new book, and you can sign up anytime to stay in the loop on updates, discussion points, and more.

April Book: Lessons in Truth by H. Emilie Cady

Led by Ron Johnson

A foundational text in Unity teachings, Lessons in Truth offers simple yet profound insights into spiritual principles that can be applied in everyday life. Through clear, practical language, Cady explores topics like the nature of God, the power of thought, prayer, and spiritual identity—inviting us to move beyond appearances and align with Truth within.

Whether you’re new to Unity or revisiting these teachings, this book provides a grounding and renewing perspective on living from your divine nature.


May Book: Jesus and the Disinherited by Howard Thurman Led by John O'Rourke

Originally written for the African American community during the pre-Civil Rights era, Howard Thurman writes about the marginalization of people by society, family, the business world, and even themselves (I can't do that, no one will let me!). As with all great pieces of literature, the essence of this book extends to all peoples who are marginalized and find themselves "backed against the wall" such as: Latinos, Native Americans, Southeast Asians, Women, LGBTQIA individuals, and the elderly to name just a few obvious groups.

 

The framework used by Thurman to study marginalization is the life of Jesus as written in the New Testament. 

 

What would Jesus do?  Jesus was a poor Jew in the 1st century AD.  As such, he was a member of a minority group living in the midst of a more dominant group - the Romans. Jesus knew first-hand what it meant to be marginalized.

 

Thurman asks many profound questions. Christianity preaches love - so why does marginalization occur at all? How do we deal with Fear, Deception, and Hate that we believe prevents us from being truly free? Is Love the answer?

 

Jesus is our Way-Shower through that feeling of being "Backed against the wall" that we all face at some time during our lives.

 

Should we gather at the wall?
