Hello Christians.
I was wondering if any of you know about the beliefs of the Christ Unity church.
Would you consider them Christians?
If you do not consider them Christians could you explain what makes them not Christians.
I take it the "Uh,No" means you do not think they are Christians?
Thanks for the link Marks. I should have looked around the site more.
I did find this and that may be enough for some to not consider them Christians. Unity founders Charles and Myrtle Fillmore studied the Bible as history and allegory and interpreted it as a metaphysical
Maybe it would be better if I asked if any of you think they are Christians.

People and denominations can call themselves Christians all they want but that does not make them so. They say on their site as part of their "Unity Message":
"Jesus We believe that Jesus expressed his divine potential and sought to show humankind how to express ours as well.We see Jesus as a master teacher of universal truths and as our Way Shower. In Unity, we use the term Christ to mean the divinity in humankind. Jesus is the great example of the Christ in expression."

I would agree with that statement... what is it about it that you don't like Marks?

I would suspect that it is the "structural" component that is missing. Jesus doesn't just SHOW us the Way . . . His consciousness in love for us ALL (Grace) . . . IS the Way we (in our imperfections) connect to God's perfection.
