Current Spirit Expressing Talk Series:
I Am Not a Victim of the World
The Positive Principles and Practical Tools of Charles Fillmore and A Course in Miracles
About the series:
As a Unity minister for 18 years and a student/teacher of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) for nearly 30, Rev. Ed Townley has long been fascinated by the ways in which Charles Fillmore and The Course agree on basic principles and, at the same time, view those principles from different perspectives. He finds for himself that they work together well – and that the differences actually provide a strong encouragement for discussion and exploration.
Both ACIM and Fillmore are based in the ministry and message of Jesus Christ, and they share an understanding of that ministry that is both universal and personal. Charles Fillmore described the Unity movement he co-founded as “practical Christianity,” and ACIM is equally practical in its structured approach to the challenge of transforming individual belief and consciousness. In this time when people everywhere are forced to recognize that old assumptions and habits no longer work, both Charles Fillmore and ACIM have a great deal to offer as we struggle to define and embrace the new.
You don’t have to know anything about either Fillmore or ACIM to benefit from this series. And you won’t have to attend every week to ‘get it.’ It’s not about a gradual process requiring a long-term commitment; all that’s required is a simple shift in focus, a new choice about what to believe. That can happen – must happen – in an instant. So whenever you are able to join us, you will find exactly what you need to achieve that shift, in that moment.
Each week’s gathering will include some thoughts from Rev. Ed, a time for discussion, and a time of prayer and meditation. In addition, we’ll continue our ongoing commitment to being of service through volunteer projects and other community outreach. We hope this new focus sparks your interest – and that you’ll let us know of any questions, suggestions or complaints you may have.
