The use of the unity candle is widespread in United Methodist churches. Clergy use it even when they have misgivings. They do this because the unity candle is becoming an effective symbol of marital unity. Although the marriage ceremony has developed over the centuries in an effort to express a needed theological message for marriage, it by no means is complete or final. The marriage ceremony contains many practices that were originally secular in nature and subsequently sacralized. The unity candle is another such practice undergoing this same sacralization process. Laity-influenced popular religion has supported this process over the last thirty years. This effort will lead to the eventual acceptance and assimilation of the unity candle as a legitimate part of the liturgy of the United Methodist marriage ceremony.
