Hello wonderful people who make up Unity Renaissance.
I am so looking forward to serving as your Transitional Senior Minister. You have a powerful spiritual community. Together, we have this now moment to imagine your future as a catalyst for divine expression in the world.
During the past month, I’ve had the opportunity to talk with your Board of Trustees, many key leaders, and the UR staff. It’s been a great opportunity for me to gain insight and understanding of your culture and strengths.
Your mission of transforming lives that transform the world is strong. Your spiritual understanding of oneness, inclusiveness, and compassion is contagious. And your intentions of continuing this ministry built on the Unity principles Rev. Paula demonstrated through her heartfelt gifts and talents is inspiring.
Now I’m eager to experience with you, your vision of a spiritually awakened world living in peace, love, and joy. Let’s define the strengths, skills, and consciousness your future Sr. Minister needs. Let’s embark on this adventure by prayerfully listening and allowing Spirit to guide us. And let’s affirm this joyful adventure is another exciting opportunity for Unity Renaissance and everyone involved to continue evolving spiritually.
Thank you for bringing me on board.
In love and light,
Richard
