¶ The Spiritual Fellowship of Students of The Urantia Book
A Journal Established to Promote Theological, Philosophical, and Polity Discussions Germane to An Appropriate Symbolism and Socioreligious Expression of the Fifth Epochal Revelation.
The central objective of a group of people interested in initiating a new religious organization based on the teachings of the Fifth Epochal Revelation should be to create a polity with maximum flexibility that would function with small groups or large congregations, utilize lay leadership and/or ordained clergy, have crosscultural adaptibility, and broad theological inclusiveness.
Such an institution would be “ a gathering of persons who have accepted a common purpose, and a common discipline to guide the pursuit of that purpose, to the end that each involved person reaches higher fulfillment as a person, through serving and being served by the common venture, than would be achieved alone or in a less committed relationship.”[2]

Crisis in Christianity
The Christian Church is facing a critical time in its history. The reality paradigm of the Middle Ages upon which it is based has lost credibility. There is need for a new spiritual vision.
Between the Times
Since Christianity no longer integrates our postmodern societies, the individual must now integrate life through personal experience.
Does Heaven Exist?
Contemporary religion has virtually nothing to say about life after death; but it is a major concern for humankind.
