Welcome to Unity Church of Raleigh!








Our Sunday Celebration Service
Rev. Ellen Barron's April 19 message is Compassion as Action.
​
Are we truly sharing kindness and compassion with the world? Marshall Rosenberg’s nonviolent communication reminds us to see the divine in everyone and to embrace love, empathy, and authenticity in our interactions. When we speak and listen from the heart, we create real connections, even across our differences. It’s not always easy—our egos and the way we’ve learned to communicate can get in the way. But by being mindful of our words, aware of our needs and those of others, we can open up honest, compassionate conversations. Archbishop Desmond Tutu viewed compassion as not merely a feeling but as a demand for action to change, emphasizing that compassion is the thread that binds humanity. Charles Filmore's teachings also encourage individuals to align with their inner divinity, fostering environments where unconditional love and understanding thrive.
Let’s commit to this path together, living and communicating with genuine care and embracing the Christ consciousness within us all. Ready to explore how kindness can transform our communities and us? Let’s dive in.
​
Scripture: Luke 23:34 - Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing."
Affirmation: I radiate kindness and compassion to the world.
​
Peace and Blessings,
Rev. Ellen
