The Strength of a Steady Heart: Co-Founder Charles Fillmore
In the ever-evolving landscape of spiritual thought, Charles Fillmore stood as a beacon of calm and unwavering purpose. As cofounder of the Unity movement, his leadership was marked not by dramatic flair, but anchored in faith, curiosity, and a profound trust in the power of divine order. Fillmore's commitment to Truth didn't waiver in the face of doubt or challenge. Instead, he cultivated a spiritual resilience that encouraged thousands to explore their own inner guidance with courage and compassion. His was a strength that led by quiet, consistent example.
This strength of steadiness allowed Unity to grow organically—rooted in principles rather than personality. Fillmore's enduring vision of practical Christianity, based on prayer, healing, and affirmative thought, was nurtured by his patient faith and open-minded inquiry. Today, as we continue walking the spiritual path, we draw strength from Charles and Myrtle Fillmore’s legacy: a reminder that the most powerful hearts are often the calmest, and the greatest transformations come through gentle, persistent love.
Join us this Father’s Day weekend as we explore the strength it took for Charles Fillmore to help Myrtle lead the Unity movement to worldwide status. I hope you can join us because it’s always better when you are here-whether in person in the sanctuary or on Zoom.
