The Urantia Book Fellowship is the original social fraternal organization of readers of The Urantia Book. Since 1955 the Fellowship has done all it can to create an awareness of The Urantia Book among all peoples. They have had a dual purpose of dissemination of the book and service to those who find it, read it and consequently believe in it. I've supported this group avidly since 1982, both as a volunteer and monetarily. I will continue to give them my hearty support because the organization embodies the values of truth, beauty and goodness, that I hold most dear.
