Summary/Abstract: The article examines the Bulgarian branch of the Unity Church – a part of the New Thought Movement, which arose in the US as result of the Revivalist Movement, but turned into a New Religious Movement. The main question in the study is the social basis of this new spiritual community, which combines believe and mind, considering the God as Infinite Intelligence and as divine energy and accepting the Divine nature of man. It is describes the establishment and ideology of this small and closed community and gives hypothesis about its connection with other New Religious Movement groups as the Universal White Brotherhood, the Nazarite community.
