About The Center for Unity
The Center for Unity (CFU) is a non-profit organization based in Israel, comprised of dedicated Urantia Book students and seasoned leaders, supported by a vibrant community of volunteers. Our name, "The Center for Unity," draws inspiration from a powerful quote: "The religion of Jesus is the most powerful unifying influence the world has ever known." The Urantia Book, 194:3.17. We strive to embody this unifying spirit in all that we do.
What We Believe
Jesus Before Christianity
We believe in exploring Jesus as a person, not just a religious figure. Jesus was a Jewish man who lived long before Christianity existed.
His teachings are relevant to everyone, regardless of their beliefs. Our projects aim to share his wisdom with people from all walks of life, without regard to their identity or origin.
We are committed to fostering exploration and understanding, rather than asking you to change who you are.
Personal Relationship with God
We are all about helping you find your own personal connection with
God. We believe you can find God in your own way, on your own terms,
and within yourself.
We use the teachings in The Urantia Book as a guide, but we believe
there are many paths to discovering God.
Our goal is to help you, especially if you're a young truth-seeker,
to find and foster your own unique relationship with God.
It's all about your journey, and we're here to support you along the way.
Spiritually Inclusive
We believe that a spiritual journey is a personal one, unique to each individual. Our goal is to share the life and teachings of Jesus as one of many paths to discovering God for yourself.
We do not believe in following a set of rules or fitting into a box. Instead, we aim to learn from life's tough moments and grow stronger.
Whether you're facing challenges or coming from a different background, we welcome you to explore this journey with us.
