A nine-sided round building with

Unity's symbol
expressing three onenesses:
Open to humanity.

The three onenesses:
First is the oneness of the Almighty Creator,
         one God with many names;
Second is the unity of the divine messengers,
         who came at different times history,
                   have different names,
                   but who all reflect the attributes of the Unknowable Creator;
Third is the oneness or unity of humanity.

dedicated to the praise and worship of the Almighty,
and service to humanity,
every human being is welcome,
without restriction.
