Jesse Herriott, M.A. will be speaker this Sunday at Christ Unity. Special music will be provided by the duo Cloudship and a potluck will follow the service.
Rev. Herriott is a teacher, whose work explores the nature of the soul. In 2013 he received incardination into the Universal Anglican Church as a radically inclusive- interspiritual teacher and priest. He serves as professor of English in the Department of Education at Gwinnett College in Lilburn, Ga.
In 2015, he was inducted into the Martin Luther King Jr. Board of Preachers and Scholars in the historic Martin Luther King Jr. Chapel, on the Campuses of Morehouse College in Atlanta.
Using insights from sacred texts and spiritual philosophies, Rev. Herriott lectures in churches, spiritual centers and career colleges throughout the southeastern United States.
"His work, known as 'The Path,' helps individuals connect with the source of life within, as foretold by the ancient ancestral wisdom better known as 'mythology.'
"For Jess, 'the soul' is a concentration of the presence that’s never in absence. Some call this presence 'God,' 'Divine Mind,' or 'The Thing Itself.' Although we may feel disconnected from it, Jess’s work reminds us that we must go inward before we go outward, and when we do so, life will support us because we are it. Life always supports itself."
As a social commentator and spirituality advocate, Rev. Herriott's writings have appeared in magazines and journals around the world such as: Unity.org, Elephant Journal Magazine, Asana International Journal of Yoga, and Omvana.com, just to name a few. His weekly empowerment broadcast, “Living on Purpose” is archived on the Unity Online Radio Network.
