THE REPORT OF THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE TO THE
GENERAL COUNCIL OF URANTIA BROTHERHOOD
Lynne Kulieke
AUGUST, 1984


The Education Committee is pleased to report, concerning its activities in the past year, the he following:

1 - Just subsequent to the last General Council meeting, the committee participated with other Brotherhood committees in the successful realization of a seminar on Prayer and Worship, held in Lake Forest, Illinois.

2 - The committee has engaged in assisting the General Conference Planning Committee to prepare for the 1984 Urantia Brotherhood Conference at Green Lake, Wisconsin. It has undertaken the task of organizing the small group sessions dedicated specifically to intensive study of the teachings of The Urantia Book related to the theme of the conference.

3 - As part of the afore-mentioned task, the committee has drawn from the wisdom and experience of interested teacher/ students of The Urantia Book in the formulation of guidelines for leaders of small group study sessions to use as they deem fit. Such guidelines will be available for all others who request them.

4 - The committee has begun planning for an intensive teaching practicum seminar to take place in the summer of 1985. The emphasis will be on methods of teaching/learning the content of The Urantia Book.

5 - The committee has roughed out a preliminary proposal for a scholarship program to be submitted for review to the Finance Committee and subsequently for approval to the Executive Committee and General Council.

6 - The committee has cooperated with the Publications Committee in recommending to the Foundation, with the approval of the Executive Committee, the reissue in microfiche of early text books related to study of The Urantia Book.

On behalf of all the members of the Education Committee--Helen Carlson, Stephen Dreier, Marilyn Hauck, Joycee Henrion, and Marjorie Reed--I thank you for the opportunity to serve and urge the continued contribution of such thoughts and suggestions as you may have that will assist us in carrying out our constitutional charge.

Respectfully submitted, Lynne B. Kulieke, Chairman of the Education Committee
