Rev. Chad O'Shea has served at Unity Center in western North Carolina, since August, 1983. Under his leadership, our Unity Center has grown from attendance of 40 to an average of 200 each Sunday. Ordained in 1977 at Unity Village, he also served Unity Centers in Richmond (VA), Warrensburg (MO), and Nashville (TN). With his wife Lytingale, he traveled across the country giving workshops at over 50 Unity churches; together they founded Gentle Spaces, a new age teaching center in Nashville, TN. |

Born in Omaha (Om - Aha!), Chad has moved from the "six-pack
consciousness" of his used-car-salesman and retail management days
to a devoted search for Truth. A natural actor/speaker/showman, Chad
weaves humor, stories, and magic into his teachings, believing
"life is too important to be taken seriously."
Drawing his inspiration from diverse sources including the Bible, Ram Dass,
cognitive therapy, and wholistic healing, he demonstrates how
"misery is optional", for "the Great Way is not difficult for those who
have no preferences" (Verses on the Faith Mind by the Third Zen Patriarch).
Chad is an occasional fisherman, a skilled golfer, an enthusiastic guitarist, and a devoted father to Michael (17) and Katie (12), and to his grown children, Chad Jr. and Matthew. | |
