Her
husband Charles Fillmore watched in amazement, then set out to learn how
it worked. He wrote as he learned, publishing a magazine first called
Modern Thought and later changed to Unity. A monthly booklet of
inspirational readings, Daily Word, was first published in 1924 and is
now mailed to 3 million homes in 10 languages.
Through
their publications, the Fillmores encouraged prayer circles and
spiritual study, and they began to receive letters from people asking
for special prayers. The Silent Unity prayer ministry now operates 24
hours a day, receiving 2 million letters and phone calls from all over
the world. Silent Unity is based at the Unity Village campus near Kansas
City, along with the Unity School for Religious Studies, which offers
classes and retreats year-round and trains new Unity ministers.
