In 1889, the Fillmores launched Modern Thought magazine, soon followed by Unity Magazine. They also formed the Society of Silent Help—today known as Silent Unity®, a 24/7 prayer ministry that continues to respond to more than a million requests each year.
Unity’s early teachings spread quickly through books and publications, including Lessons in Truth by H. Emilie Cady, which remains a cornerstone text studied by generations.
In 1924, Unity published the first issue of the Daily Word®, offering daily inspiration to people of all faiths. What began as a small circle of seekers has since grown into a worldwide movement of churches, study groups, and spiritual communities.
Today, Unity continues to carry forward the Fillmores’ vision of practical spirituality—helping people apply timeless spiritual principles to live with greater health, peace, and purpose.
With hearts joined together, we lift our collective voice in prayer for protection and resilience for those facing challenges posed by damaging weather that impact our communities and our world. We affirm comfort for those who have experienced loss and strength to those facing uncertainty, seeing communities coming together to support and uplift each other during times of trial. May the efforts of first responders, volunteers, and all who are on the front lines of disaster be filled with courage, compassion, and efficiency as they work to protect and aid those in need.
“And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.” – Mark 4:39
We join together as one global family, transcending borders, ideologies, and divisions. With hearts open wide and spirits intertwined, we raise our collective voice to call for peace in our world. We sow seeds of understanding where error thought has taken root, and dispel the shadows of fear, fostering empathy and compassion among nations. We affirm wisdom for our leaders as they navigate the complexities of international relations. May they prioritize dialogue over discord and seek solutions that honor the inherent dignity of every human being. We see the wounds of war and strife, both seen and unseen, being healed in supernatural ways, and comfort and protection for those afflicted. We lift our collective prayer for an end to global wars.
“If we would have peace and harmony in our environment, we must establish it within ourselves.” – Charles Fillmore, Unity Co-Founder
In this sacred moment of unity, we gather as one voice, transcending differences to address a shared concern that weighs heavy on our hearts—the pervasive issue of gun violence. Together, we claim healing and transformation. We affirm courage to stand against violence, to be advocates for change, and to work tirelessly for a world where every life is valued and protected. May we see beyond our differences and recognize the humanity in each other. May we find common ground that unites us in our shared commitment to peace. Wisdom and compassion guide our leaders, empowering them to enact policies that prioritize the safety and well-being of all. We pray comfort for those who have lost loved ones, and invest in the well-being of our communities, providing resources and opportunities that empower individuals to choose paths of peace. We know that Love and understanding prevail over hatred and fear.
“Divine love in the heart establishes one in fearlessness and indomitable courage.” – Charles Fillmore, Christian Healing
