The Spiritual Unity of Nations believes that all humanity is created spiritually equal.
The SUN strives to help each person learn to express through their life on earth the perfection they
already possess in Spirit.
The SUN recognizes each person’s right to express their concept of the Creative Force of the Universe.
The SUN seeks unity, harmony, and love among all persons, peoples, and nations.
The SUN shall not dictate to any person, church, religion, philosophy or doctrine.
The SUN accepts the differing practices and theologies of all religions and philosophies. The seeds of truth exist in all religions and philosophies. Though the paths are many, the ultimate goal is Oneness.
The SUN believes that it is each person’s responsibility to use wisely the gifts of matter to achieve
perfect balance with Spirit.
Through common purpose, we can transcend the limitations which hinder the spiritual unification of
humanity.
