Overview
Carol Ruth Knox was an inspiring and motivated minister who gave a series of profound talks in 1986 -1987 that grew her small congregation of 20 people (at Unity of Walnut Creek) into a center of three Sunday services with 450 people attending.
Her secret: she saw God in flowers and trees, in dogs and birds, in the desert and the ocean, and in the affluent and the indigent. God included every-thing both the animate and inanimate. And everything in God’s Creation created an opportunity for spiritual growth. Dr. Knox chose to live in Antioch, CA as opposed to nearby affluent Walnut Creek because it caused her to be closer to God.
Each Sunday she shared how she had encountered God in the past week and the lessons she had learned. Reverend Knox challenged her audience with quantum physics, philosophy, Eastern Religions, and whatever subject that caught her interest. She possessed the unique gift of being able to explain the most complex ideas so that people could understand; and, she expected her congregation to be sophisticated and to accept responsibility to understand. She expressed her full heart acceptance of God when she spoke: seeing God in the messy details and the brilliant shining moments of life. She never ‘talked down’ to those attending her church. As a result, each Sunday, attendees would leave with tools and inspiration to see God in their daily lives.
Tragically in 1987, Carol Ruth Knox was murdered by an intruder in her home. Her powerful and truly relevant messages still resonate today and can help one achieve a life of meaning, of service and of spiritual mastery in today’s world by embracing The Path of God.

About the Author
Reverend Carol Ruth Knox was a celebrated Unity minister at Unity of Walnut Creek in California,
Carol Ruth Knox was born in Somerville, Massachusetts, near Boston, and never lost her charming Bostonian accent. She graduated cum laude from Tufts University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music and in English. She received a MA in Musicology from Brown University and a doctoral degree from the California Institute of Integral Studies. Carol Ruth Knox was also a lifetime student of Unity. She attended Unity School for Religious Studies, Unity Village, Missouri and was ordained as a Unity minister in 1970 by the Association of Unity Churches.
Carol Ruth had an interesting career arc. She taught English and Music and was Director of Music at a high school in Connecticut. She was a Director of the Massachusetts Association for the Adult Blind; and she toured the eastern United States as a professional concert pianist. Then she entered the Unity ministry.
Soon after her ordination, Carol Ruth became minister of the small Unity Center of Walnut Creek in California, which she developed into one of the largest ministries west of the Mississippi with nearly 400 active members. She served as the Center’s minister until her death nearly seventeen years later.
Reverend Knox authored many Unity publications and books, lectured widely on the West Coast of the USA to professional and service clubs, conducted seminars, appeared on weekly television and radio series, and wrote a newspaper column. She conducted workshops and taught classes throughout Unity and was also deeply engaged in the greater community thereby making a positive impact in the world.
She died in 1987, but her legacy of passion, wisdom, and faith continues to change the lives of everyone who reads or hears her words.
