Download a Certificate of Ordination of Charles Fillmore, dated December 1, 1890. This document was sent to me by Rev. Michael Schoonover of Unity Way Church in Vista, California. He obtained it from the Unity.org website. Rev. Michael notes that the certificate is signed by Emma Curtis Hopkins and Annie E. Rix. This indicates that Charles Fillmore was a student of not only Emma Curtis Hopkins, but also a student of Annie Rix (later Militz).
