Ecclesiastical Endorsement

Unity Worldwide Ministries currently offers ecclesiastical endorsements for military, healthcare or correctional facility chaplains who are affiliated with a Unity ministry (i.e. regular attendee and volunteer at a ministry).

An ecclesiastical endorsement is not a letter of recommendation or an ordination and does not authorize the chaplain to perform marriages or other activities that an ordained minister or license Unity teacher (LUT) is approved to perform. The endorsement is a document that states that the person is qualified spiritually, doctrinally, educationally, and professionally to represent Unity in the specialized setting.

Unity Worldwide Spiritual Institute (UWSI): UWSI offers the Required Core Courses in four terms each year — Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. See their Academic Calendar

Unity Urban Ministerial School (UUMS): UUMS offer SEEs (Spiritual Education & Enrichment) courses. See their Academic Calendar
Field Courses (local ministries): Any Unity minister or Licensed Unity Teacher may teach SEE classes locally. To get credit for these courses the teacher must submit your grade for credit.
