United Church of Religious Science Peace Statement

We, the members of United Church of Religious Science, stand for and as Peace in the world. We embrace the Absolute Reality of God as All Knowing, Everywhere Present, All Powerful and All Loving. We have faith that Spirit is in all, and moving through all, to bring forth a greater revelation of Good on earth. We honor the unity of all life, the sacredness of every creation, and the inherent value and preciousness of all people, cultures, religions, and nations. We envision a world free of war, violence, homelessness, hunger, poverty and disenfranchisement, where borders are irrelevant, where there is a continuous and generous sharing of resources, where forgiveness is the norm in relationships and where we actively practice compassion with one another. We know, as our founder Ernest Holmes stated, that there is nothing outside of ourselves to heal, and so we do our own inner work to release separation and conflict from our own consciousness and to extend love and forgiveness. In this way we each become the opening for the greater expression of Peace in our families, our communities and our world.

Rev. Dr. Kathy Hearn

World Unity

Knowing the power of collective prayer, World Ministry of Prayer holds the space for peace, healing and prosperity in our lives and for all those who request prayer.

In light of the state of world affairs, we invite you to join with us in consciousness as we hold our Prayer Circle from 11:00 - 11:30 am (Pacific time) each morning.

If you cannot stop for prayer for the entire half hour, we ask that you devote this time each day to doing whatever you are doing with peace and love in your heart.

If you are an attorney arguing your case in court, know that you are serving justice.

If you are a cashier in a grocery store, know that you are nourishing the world.

If you work in a car wash, know that you are bringing about beauty and order.

Wherever you are during this half hour, no matter what you are doing, do it with love and with peace.

Your friends at
World Ministry of Prayer

A Prayer for World Peace

I know there is but One Mind, which is the Mind of God, in which all people live and move and have their being.

I know there is a divine pattern for humanity and within this pattern there is infinite harmony and peace, cooperation, unity and mutual helpfulness.

I know that the mind of humankind, being one with the Mind of God, shall discover the method, the way and the means best fitted to permit the flow of divine love between individuals and nations. Thus harmony, peace, cooperation, unity and mutual helpfulness will be experienced by all.

I know there shall be a free interchange of ideas, of cultures, of spiritual concepts, of ethics, of educational systems and scientific discoveries – for all good belongs to all alike.

I know that, because Divine Mind has created us all, we are bound together in one infinite and perfect unity.

In bringing about world peace, I know that all people and all nations will remain individual but united for a common purpose of promoting peace, happiness, harmony and prosperity.

I know that deep within every person, the divine pattern of perfect peace is already implanted.

I now declare that in each person and in leaders of thought everywhere this divine pattern moves into action and form, to the end that all nations and all people shall live together in peace, harmony and prosperity – forever.

So it is now.
--- Ernest Holmes, 1950
