About Us
URANTIA CENTRAL is an independent web site that generates, examines and monitors ideas and actions relating to the content of the Urantia Papers. We also identify and engage inclusively about pertinent matters that impact on the future of the revelation, and therefore on the future of the human race.
PURPOSE: We are all on an uncharted journey together, and need group wisdom to safeguard and disseminate the truth of the revelation during our custodianship.
The Papers have been generally studied. Now we need critical analysis of actions and directions, and greater integration into areas such as academia, media, literature, arts, science, and religion. We will seek input from specialists in those fields. Their contributions will expand upon the world’s store of knowledge and understanding.
OUR READERS: We cater for a general readership with varied backgrounds and a wide range of views on philosophy, religion and spiritual matters. It is not a niche site or one requiring extensive knowledge of the Papers.
Based on the numbers of books sold and available in libraries, universities, and religious colleges world wide, it is clear many readers choose to develop their spiritual interests privately and on line. We hope to engage with them. Our target audience is the sane, down to earth and common sense majority. By sharing our news and ideas, we can all benefit from the way the Urantia teachings resonate in our hearts, impact on our thinking, and manifest in our lives.
DIRECTION: Fearlessness and openness are essential for the revelation to succeed. Mainstream media, religions, universities, and interest groups will have varied opinions about the book, its content, and its adherents. How is the world reacting to this revelation? We need to be listening. We may need to present a clarification or rebuttal of misinformation. We may need to link new discoveries to the Papers.
We invite you to be part of the evolution of truth on a complex planet. The key is to source topical material and suitable contributors. Generally the editors will present all reasonable commentary and exclude extremism that is disruptive and offers no progressive position. Successive generations will benefit from the guiding influence of spiritual truth to establish suitable societal mores in an ever-changing world.
RESULT: The site will encourage progressive thinking essential for the acceptance of revealed information. It can increase collaboration and develop friendships. It may reduce barriers of misunderstanding and show the commonality of beliefs amongst peoples and creeds. It can question perceived error and raise issues of accountability.
The Papers will attract a wider audience with new input. More people will find the teachings are relevant to their lives at work, at home, and at play. We are coming to realise that the spiritual dimension is a part of who we are and all we do.
A stronger voice for the revelation will result in a more enlightened journey to a better world, in turn leading to a universal status that is spiritually motivated and based on the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of all mankind.
