Anyone who listens to this series by Vera Dawson Tait will know why Unity thrived in earlier times. We seldom see material of this type of quality.

When Johnnie Coleman was diagnosed with six months to live, she visited Unity Village for one week, "for a second opinion." According to the UFBL website:

The first person Johnnie met was Vera Dawson Tait, who had earned the affectionate nickname “Miss ‘Lessons in Truth,’” after the foundational Unity textbook she had mastered: H. Emilie Cady’s Lessons in Truth. She had quite a reputation as an effective teacher of the New Thought doctrines underlying Unity, the “Truth Principles,” as they were called. Here was a face framed in a perpetual smile as she spoke of the school and of Jesus the Christ. Here was someone (and in this she turned out to be typical) whose religion was anything but a burden or a cross of responsibility to be stoically borne. These people had chosen religion as their life’s work, and it was plain they had never thought better of it, never looked back.

I encourage anyone who knew Vera to add a comment below.
