The Urantia Book Fellowship
1991 Annual Report of the Charter Committee
Avi Dogim
No new Societies have been installed this year, but the Charter Committee received inquiries regarding standards of admissions of societies from Wisconsin and from Quebec, Canada. Two of 21 Societies, Finnish Urantia Society and Urantia Society of San Fernando Valley, have abandoned their charter. First Urantia Society of Western Springs has made it clear that it does not wish to participate in Fellowship activities but has taken no formal action. Of the remaining 18 societies, 16 will be sending Delegates and Alternates to the June Triennial Delegate Assembly. First Urantia Society of Los Angeles has not been in position to select a delegate since it is still in the process of determining its affiliation status; Northern Light Urantia Society of Alaska has been experiencing some logistical difficulties, partly due to distances between groups and will not be represented at the TDA.
Expansion of Charter Committee responsibilities to include on-going liaison with Societies and review of member-at-large applications was discussed in the Executive Committee and is pending discussion and recommendation by the Charter Committee in the end of June.
