Fillmore Wings Foundations

Welcome!

Mark Hicks

The Fillmore teachings are not so much to be studied as they are to be practiced. The Fillmores called their program Practical Christianity.

To get people started, they offered a “Beginner’s Course” in a correspondence school format. Their course was published by Unity for over six decades: from the early 1910s into the 1970s. It defined what the Fillmores believed their students should do and what they demanded their ministers teach.

This volume, Foundations, is the first of three printed Fillmore Wings textbooks. It covers the first six lessons of the Correspondence School program and it lays a foundation for the twelve topics in the advanced course of study. These lessons are supplemented with The 1892 Fillmore Covenant, a short and concise expression of how the Fillmores committed themselves to the practice they preached.

Students of this volume can expect increased health of the body–the body in all its expressions–as the body of our mental thinking, as our physical body, as the body of our affairs, as the body of our church, as the body of our life challenges, and the body of our accomplishments.

Fillmore Covenant

Each year, on December 7, 2017 we celebrate Charles and Myrtle Fillmore's writing their Dedication and Covenant:

“We, Charles Fillmore and Myrtle Fillmore, husband and wife, hereby dedicate ourselves, our time, our money, all we have and all we expect to have, to the Spirit of Truth, and through it, to the Society of Silent Unity.

It being understood and agreed that the said Spirit of Truth shall render unto us an equivalent for this dedication, in peace of mind, health of body, wisdom, understanding, love, life, and an abundant supply of all things necessary to meet every want without our making any of these the object of our existence.

In the presence of the Conscious Mind of Christ Jesus, this 7th day of December, A.D. 1892.”

Charles and Myrtle Fillmore knew that the true measure of a healthy ministry is not money nor attendance—rather it is the degree to which people commit to the ministry. Few people will give their time, money and life to an endless array of interesting speakers and ideas. Spiritual seeking is not religious commitment.

What people want is a teaching that is authentic, powerful, clear and supported by a consistent message. People will commit—all they have—when they perceive the commitment and single focus that Charles and Myrtle Fillmore demonstrated many years ago.

We often mark the start of Unity as April 1889, when Unity published its first magazine. But we believe a better date would be December 1892 when Charles and Myrtle made their commitment to what would become the Unity movement in the form of this Dedication and Covenant.
