1991 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP COMMITTEE
Berkeley Elliott


The International Fellowship Committee was extremely proud to have 86 people from outside the United States attend the International Conference in Snowmass last July: from South Africa, Australia, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, Finland, France, Mexico, New Zealand, Switzerland, Tahiti, England, Ireland, and Estonia. Comments indicated our work made them feel more at home than ever before. 

In October, 1990, Brent St. Denis picked up several site committee members at the airport in Montreal and after visiting several sites for the 1993 International Conference, we met with 20 to 25 Urantia Book readers near Quebec City. Our 1993 site will be St-Hyacinthe, Quebec. This conference will have many French-speakers in attendance, and translators will be available there, as well as possibly other languages. This will be our first General Conference outside the United States, and since the chairman of the conference is also from Canada, it is altogether a big first for our Fellowship. 

We recently initiated an "International In-Depth Study Group," through the Bulletin. We hope to receive comments and answers to thought-provoking questions posed by the Book from all over the world. 

All members of our Committee hope to make personal contact with international readers in the next year, and communication through correspondence remains active. 

Our International Area Coordinators continue to be active and helpful. We have added a few and now have a total of thirteen.

It has been a great privilege to chair of this Committee. I have met many wonderful people from all over the planet, most of whom I continue to stay in touch with. The world is full of caring, loving brothers and sisters, and I am grateful to have become acquainted with so many. 

Thanks to each member of this committee and the helpful cooperation of our Chicago office.
