The apostle Paul once said, “I must see Rome!” (Acts 19:21)
Dear Unity Friends,
I hope you can join us on our spiritual and educational immersion in the “Eternal City” of Rome and the Amalfi Coast. Together we will walk in the footsteps of the apostle Paul throughout Rome and the magnificent Italian countryside.
Unity teaches us to see the Divine in everyone and everything. Join us as we explore the myths, the religious impacts, and spiritual significance of this region. Interfaith and intercultural experiences such as this are deeply spiritual experiences if we are only aware as we go about our time together!
We’ll have the opportunity to visit the Vatican museums and St. Peter’s Basilica, along with classical Roman sites such as the Roman Forum, the Circus Maximus, and the spectacular Colosseum. We’ll see beautifully preserved Greek temples and discuss the religious and philosophical contributions of the Greeks as well.
Join us in 2020 for this journey with Unity friends—exploring the Divine within each of us and the splendor of God’s creation!
Blessings,
Rev. Mark Fuss

Experience It! Myths and Legends
Approximately 55 miles south of Naples, Italy, lies the ancient city of Paestum. Legends tell of the city’s founding by Jason and the Argonauts, but archaeologists, uncomfortable with the stuff of legends, attribute Paestum’s birth to seventh-century Greek colonists. With the fall of the Roman Empire, Paestum fell into decline and was deserted for many centuries. Rediscovered only in 1752 by an Italian road-building crew working in the area, Paestum is the finest preserved Greek temple complex in the Mediterranean world. The two primary temples, the 550 B.C. Basilica and the 450 B.C. Temple of Neptune, are archaeological wonders that will leave an impression on you long after your return home. The Temple of Neptune–in all its classic Doric beauty–has thick marble columns that are still strong and upright. It is the oldest and best preserved of the Greek temples in Italy, and it still inspires hope in those who visit its open-air shrine. A third temple on the site was dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, spiritual consciousness and the arts.
