SUMMARY:Q&A Session with Scott Dodsworth
DESCRIPTION:🌿A Special Spiritual Leadership Announcement 🌿
With grateful hearts and a spirit of hope, the Friends of Unity Board of Trustees is pleased to share an important step in the life of our spiritual community.
We are delighted to announce that Scott Dodsworth has agreed to serve as our new spiritual leader, pending approval by the congregation. If approved, Scott will begin serving our community on November 1, 2026.
As we enter this time of transition and new beginnings, we invite our community to come together in openness, curiosity, reflection, and faith. Choosing a spiritual leader is an important part of our shared journey, and we trust that through listening, thoughtful conversation, and discernment, we will find the path that is right for Friends of Unity.
🌿 An Invitation to Listen & Connect — September 27th 🌿
Scott will be with us for a Q&A with the congregation on Sunday, September 27, immediately following the service.
This gathering is an opportunity to hear Scott’s heart and vision, and learn more about the values, and hopes he would bring to our community. Come with your questions, your curiosity, or simply an open heart ready to listen and reflect.
We hope you will join us as we create space for meaningful conversation and deeper understanding.
🌿 A Time for Discernment & Decision — October 18 🌿
A Special Membership Meeting will be held on Sunday, October 18, when our members will have the opportunity to vote on approving Scott as our new spiritual leader.
 

About Scott:

Scott Dodsworth was born in Detroit, MI. He grew up in Redford Township and Milford before moving to Chicago in 1990. For those of you that go back 50+ years to Unity of Livonia, yes… Scott is the child of Tom and Wanda who was in the YES, grades 1-6, the Uniteens, the Youth of Unity, and the Young Adults of Unity. He was Great Lakes Regional Representative for the Youth of Unity in 1981 and organized spiritual retreats for the YAU in Colorado and at Unity Village through the 80’s. After receiving his degree from the University of Michigan, Scott dedicated the next 33 years of his life to being a high school social studies teacher on the Southside of Chicago. As a teacher, Scott wove in Unity wisdoms he had learned from his life in Unity. The students called them Dodsworthisms but he simply called them Life 101. Scott retired from teaching in 2023, but brings his Live 101 for us today.

We at Friends of Unity are studying and discerning what Unity and unity is, and can be, as a community; what it can mean to be a hub of consciousness for spiritual growth and collective spiritual evolution. Friends of Unity is dedicated to expressing our guiding values on behalf of Love, Community, and Service. At Friends of Unity we strive to ensure each person is well supported with prayer partners, prosperity partners,  and classes that support living life fully, and healing. We at FoU are about the work to simply be kinder than necessary.
