Summary of Our Restructuring

and a Q&A on July 9

In our restructuring email series we talked about the following items.

Small groups are important.

Small groups help people feel connected. People, especially newer readers, want to know and be known. Small groups also have an impact on the national and international levels of Urantia Association. Through them, representatives are chosen to help make decisions that impact Urantia Association's mission around the world.

Small groups can now exist as local or virtual associations.

Previously, our structure for small groups was limited to local associations and placed a large number of people into the category of "member-at-large." Now, all members will join a local or virtual association which can be grouped by region, or around a shared interest or purpose.

Local and Virtual Associations can adopt a simplified structure.

Local and Virtual Associations can still exist as independent nonprofits, but if they prefer a simpler structure they can exist as working groups within Urantia Association of the United States. Working groups will have a Chair and meet at least once per year, and if they have at least eight members they can send representatives to UAUS. They can have a voice and focus on what they want to do a as a group, without having to put energy into administering their own nonprofit.

To see the full description of the restructuring, visit our website. Previous emails are available there, as well.

Take our survey to tell us what groups you would like to see offered.

We will soon be ushering our members-at-large into local and virtual associations so we need to know which groups we should begin establishing.

Do you want to be a part of a regional group that meets virtually?

Are you drawn toward an interest or purpose-based group?

Tell us your thoughts!

Join us for a Q&A.

UAUS President Alice Wood, and Vice President Marc Boucher will answer any questions that you have about the restructuring, or UAUS in general. If you can't join us at one of the times listed below, email us your question. uaus@urantia-association.org

Can You Give $15 to Donate a Book?

I've heard a lot of stories about how people found The Urantia Book. Some of them stand out more than others. One that remains etched in my brain is of a man who was standing in a bookstore and a copy of The Urantia Book fell off the shelf directly in front of him.

In another instance, just a few years ago, I donated a copy of The Untold Story of Jesus to a used bookstore and checked on it throughout the week. It was there the day after I donated it, and it was bought the next. We may think that the online version of the book is enough, but experience tells us that book placement in libraries and book stores is still relevant.

There are people within UAUS who want to distribute books but who need help to do so.

Can you give $15 or more toward this effort? $15 pays for one book. Your donation will go toward purchasing books when they cannot be secured for free, and it will help our volunteers with things like gas mileage when they travel between libraries.

Any donations received during the remainder of June and all of July will go toward book placement.

in light and life,

Alice Wood

President of UAUS

Seraphic Planetary Summit

A Virtual, Creative Simulation

Wednesday Night Urantia Study Group offers a unique online program hosted by Rick and Susan Lyon on 5th Wednesdays.

You are invited to participate in a special activity that will be hosted on July 29th, 6:30-8:30 PM Eastern.

The Zoom activity––a simulation––is based upon the following quote: 

"Each administrative day on Urantia begins with a consultative conference, which is attended by the governor general, the planetary chief of archangels, the Most High observer, the supervising supernaphim, the chief of resident Life Carriers, and invited guests from among the high Sons of the universe or from among certain of the student visitors who may chance to be sojourning on the planet. The direct administrative cabinet of the governor general consists of twelve seraphim, the acting chiefs of the twelve groups of special angels functioning as the immediate superhuman directors of planetary progress and stability." 114:5.5-6

We'd like to share the experience and invite others to participate in this activity, which will be an exercise in aligning our minds with the Supreme purposes of our invisible seraphic planetary government. For two hours we will enact and envision what 'the immortals' face as they try to assist all Urantians each day on our beautiful, but confused world. We're excited to share this activity with you, and look forward to a fun and enlightening evening!
