Purpose I

 Goal:-- Facilitate the establishment and development of thousands of study groups.

The Study Groups Herald-- The Study Group Herald appeared this spring in a 24 page format. Our committee is one of three standing committees responsible for the overview of this publication. It is expected to be issued twice annually, once in the summer and once in the winter. 

Purpose 11

Goal:-- Improve and expand the comprehension and understanding of The Urantia Book.

The Journal-- This year we produced two special conference issues of The Journal totaling over 120 pages. In the fall, we will introduce the premier issue of The Journal in a new format which will include literary, artistic and philosophical contributions from the readership. Subscriptions are expected to be $8.00 annually.

Supporting Goals

Goal: --Maintain a financially stable organization that will support the organization's purposes, goals and strategies. 

Fellowship Pamphlet -- We have participated in assembling an introductory pamphlet for new readers, welcoming them to the growing community of readers and introducing them to The Fellowship. 

Goal: --Maintain an historical perspective for our organization.

History Project-- With the Special Projects Committee, we have undertaken supervisory control of the oral history project. A task force of writers knowledgeable and interested in the history of events prior to 1955 will be interviewing individuals active at that time. The task force will assemble a comprehensive and thorough account for publication by The Fellowship.

Goal: -- Establish a communication network for Urantia Book readers throughout the world..

The Bulletin is now issued three times per year with summary translations in at least two other languages. It is typically printed in an eight page format and has the following standard features: Society Highlights, Calendar of Events, Commentary, Annual Reports, Annual President's Message, and What was That Word? We have also reorganized our editorial staff to more effectively produce the newsletter.
