Unity of Farmers Branch (Formerly The Church Of One Love)

Based on the central message of A Course in Miracles,  this was the theme beloved founder of our church, Rev. Kay Hunter, used to explain her ministry and the church’s mission in a nutshell. We still claim this truth for Unity of Farmers Branch and try to fulfill it in everything we do.  What does it mean to “teach only love?” and how do we do it?

This has been our tag line – a short version of who we are—since 2020, when we became Church of One Love.  Now, as Unity of Farmers Branch, we move forward with the same sensibility of oneness.  What, exactly does that mean?  How many paths are there?  How do we know which one is right for us?

These words we say before our offering every Sunday are packed with significance. They are a declaration that each of us is the vehicle through which Divine love flows, and when we understand this to be true, it changes everything!

Compassion is defined as recognizing another person's suffering, combined with an authentic desire to help alleviate that pain.  Yet, when we cannot actually do anything to alleviate the pain—when there is nothing to be done-- does compassion still matter?  My answer is yes, and I’ll tell you why.

Is Prosperity about Money and more money? Is it luck? Is it Divine Providence? Can you see it before you believe it? We will see what Rev. Eric Butterworth has to teach us from his book, “Spiritual Economics".

Curiosity may be our most important tool on the spiritual path.  It is the mark of Beginner’s Mind, allowing us to open to new information, insight and guidance. When we are curious about ourselves, the world, and our relationship to it, we begin to pay attention and to live a life of intention.  Curiosity helps open us to more loving and intimate relationships, as when we are truly interested and really listen, we avoid making harmful assumptions and allow ourselves to know others in more meaningful ways.

One big block to the spiritual path is expertise.  When we think or assume we know, we unconsciously close our minds to new information, points of view, and potentially helpful tools.  Sometimes “maybe” could be just what is called for in the moment, while we wait for the Divine to reveal more.

Likewise we are always saying no in ways we may not be aware of, and may even be saying “yes” when we mean “no,”  adding undue stress and complication to our lives. This is a world where “no” needs to be said, but we don’t have to arm ourselves to do it.  With practice and awareness, we can learn to keep our hearts open, stay loving and do what we are called to do (and not do what we are not) without putting people out of our hearts.
