Unity of Wimberley


Minister:


Rev. Ellen Debenport began serving as minister at Unity of Wimberley on April 1, 2009. She is the author of The Five Principles, a book published by Unity House about the universal spiritual laws that govern our lives.

Ellen came to us from Dallas, where she was senior minister at the 1,000-member Unity Church of Dallas for four years, after working four years there as an associate minister as well. She resigned at the end of 2007 and took a year to write.

She serves on the board at Unity School of Christianity, our world headquarters, and is also the radio host of "Absolute Living," a talk show about living our lives according to spiritual principles. The show  is live every Monday at 1 pm but can be accessed anytime through Unity.FM. The show also has a Facebook group.

Before she was called to ministry, Ellen was a journalist with United Press International and the St. Petersburg Times, mostly covering politics. She was working in Washington, DC, before she left for Unity's ministerial school outside Kansas City, MO. Born in San Antonio, Ellen grew up in Odessa, Texas, and has a bachelor's degree in journalism from Baylor University.

Author:


Ellen's new book offers her unique view of the five Unity principles that, as Ellen says, "have been around for a long time." 

Bishop John Shelby Spong, author of A New Christianity for a New World, has this to say: "Ellen Debenport probes the edges of faith in this remarkable book and points the way into the future. The Christian world needs to hear the message that she brings for it opens doorways into tomorrow."

True to being in the school of practical Christianity, Ellen wrote The Five Principles  to provide tools for daily living and to suggest answers to the great questions of existence that humans have been asking since the dawn of conscious awareness:
  • What is this greater Presence that we sense around us?
  • Who and what are we?
  • Why do things happen in our lives the way they do?
  • How can we communicate with this Presence?
  • What are we here to do?
