Unity City and Religion- Curious Confusions and Conflicts

What Churches in the Lowcountry are Saying about Unity City, Moms for Liberty and Christian Dominionism

We are organizing a committee of Clergy and Theologians to challenge Unity City's misuse of scripture. This page is scheduled for future revision, but we're posting links to give you something to start with since this has been so important. 

Clergy Speak Out Against Unity City

Image, right, Unitarian Church, right and St. John's Lutheran Church, left, these two neighboring Churches are one of many symbols of religious pluralism in Charleston. Gateway walk also joins the Unitarian Churchyard to St. Phillips Episcopal Church and Circular Congregational Church. 

Unitarians- In a powerful message delivered from one of the Holy City's historic pulpits on May 19, the Minister of the Unitarian Church in Charleston delivered a sermon challenging Christian Dominionist theology, Moms for Liberty, and Unity City on May 19 during their regular worship service. She preached, among other things that the 7 mountains political agenda contradicted the teachings of Jesus and that Christians were supposed to seek crosses, not crowns. You can watch the Unitarian Church service, May 19, 2024. Relevant content begins at 20 min and the Sermon at about 40 min. A statement like this is quite unusual for the Unitarians, who usually practice deferential tolerance. https://boxcast.tv/channel/rbkmm8zn0ugm4poobpkf?b=h0snzyfzzvkqtdc6vp1d

Presbyterians (Columbia, SC), July 21, 2024,  Unholy begins a sermon sequence about how Christian Nationalism contradicts the teaching of Jesus. View the service on YouTube, the sermon begins about 35 minutes in. 

Rev. Thomas Dixon- Pastor Thomas Dixon discussed Unity City on May 24. He's the area's most outspoken activist minister and is on the front line of every struggle here. See Rev. Dixon's statement on Unity City. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/yV6bsf84BK9VW4N9/

Unity City Undermines Local Churches and Indulges in Antisemitism

How can you make a speech about infiltrating local churches, undermining their leadership and sewing dissention among their membership in contravention of the teaching of St. Paul even worse. Slip is a joke about Jewish people and put it on the internet after everyone laughs. See the short videoclip recorded at their May 25 training session short videoclip.recorded at their May 25 training session on how to use stealth to take over your church.
