We are delighted to have Thomas DeSchutter as one of the presenters at the Resilience In Times of Uncertainty conference.
Rev. Thomas DeSchutter came to Unity the long way around — raised Catholic, walked away in his late teens, and spent the better part of three and a half decades quietly seeking what he didn't know was missing. At 53, an encounter with A Course in Miracles brought him back — not to religion, but to something more honest than what he'd left.
He now serves as Senior Minister of Unity Vancouver Island, leading three communities across Nanaimo, Victoria, and Comox Valley. He is also a member of the Unity Canada board of directors.
His teaching is grounded, direct, and built for people who have seen enough of life to need more than inspiration — people who want something that actually holds. He draws on Unity and New Thought metaphysics, the 12 Powers, and the work of Eric Butterworth, with a particular commitment to honest inner work over easy answers.
Rev. Thomas believes the path back to wholeness doesn't require you to have it figured out. It just requires you to stay present to what's actually here.
