These
Community Pages reflect and celebrate the growing
diversity of expression in The Urantia Book community. They tell the
story of the profound impact these teachings have had on those truth
seekers fortunate enough to have come into contact with them. Not
surprisingly, the community has suffered from those human failings
and foibles that history tells us have always been a part of passionate,
evolutionary religion. However, the heart and soul of this story tells
of dedication, commitment, the struggle to grow beyond negative human
tendencies, and the profoundly unifying, freeing, and soul-building
attraction of personal religious experience with God, our common Universal
Father.
The various outer expressions, beliefs, and common interest groups
which result from contact with the truths expressed in The Urantia
Book reflect the diversity of humanity--race, gender, environment,
and ethnicity. Profound as these differences may appear, they pale
in comparison to the realities that unify us--the Father's bestowal
of unique personality and will, our status as children of God, the
gift of mind capable of seeking and doing God's will and thereby building
our souls, and the Father's plan of eternal life for all of his human
children. Thus, while the book is surely about the religious experience
of knowing God and the God in others, it is not in itself another
religion.
It is the hope of TheoQuest.com that truth seekers from all backgrounds,
life experiences, belief systems, and cultures will experience the
unity in this growing diversity and choose to become part of the transformation
of our world.
The quest for God is everything....
