Dear members of the Fifth Epochal Fellowship, formerly Urantia Brotherhood:

As past trustees of Urantia Foundation we want you to know that we strongly disagree with the current trustees' decisions to:

1. Withdraw the rights of the Confirmatory Agreement which allowed the "former" Urantia Brotherhood to use the name Urantia Brotherhood and the three concentric circle registered marks.

2. Evict Urantia Brotherhood from the premises of 533 Diversey Parkway.

3. Terminate the Confirmatory Agency Agreement which ended Urantia Association Brotherhood Corporation's representation and sale of The Urantia Book.

4. Create Urantia Foundation's new licensee, Urantia Brotherhood

We encourage you to proceed forward, unified within the former Urantia Brotherhood, now Fifth Epochal Fellowship. May this unity bring you strength to serve this revelation and the Father in heaven.

Sincerely,

Former Trustees of Urantia Foundation
