President’s Message – June 2025
Sow the Light, Serve the Truth, Build Together
Dear Urantia Family,
It was a true joy for me to attend the European Conference in Paris this month, to actively participate in the program, and to personally meet so many readers from different parts of the world. I witnessed firsthand the remarkable efforts of the organizers and felt deeply moved by the goodwill, enthusiasm, and sincerity of those who came to share their living and unique understanding of The Urantia Book teachings.
I like to think that each personality radiates a distinct color, and regardless of language or nationality, we were all resonating in harmony on the note of brotherhood. It was inspiring to see how students of the revelation are eager to exchange ideas, express what they’ve come to understand, and offer it back in service. Some have shared their ministry with young people, the sick and those who are isolated. Others have embraced the role of teachers, each revealing in their own way how this revelation can inspire service in a rich variety of expressions.
The publication mandate given by the revelators calls us to prepare teachers and leaders for the generations to come. This mandate resonates deeply within me, as this revelation moves me as if Jesus himself were speaking to us today, personally and with the same urgency, tenderness, and faith he had in his apostles. The Urantia Book was given ahead of its time to prepare us for this service. I feel called to respond to that invitation, as many of you do.
This calling is not fulfilled only through great responsibilities, but in small daily choices: listening, encouraging, sharing, building bridges. It manifests not only in committees, study groups, or conversations among readers, but above all in our everyday lives—with our families, friends, neighbors, and even strangers. It is in these simple, genuine connections that we sow seeds of truth and goodness, often without realizing it. Following the Master’s example, we do good as we pass by. And each person, according to their talents and opportunities, can contribute to this living work. It is through steady service and faithfulness to our calling that we build the foundations of a promising spiritual future. But what do we do with this responsibility? Personal, inner transformation—pursued through prayer, meditation, worship, and especially selfless service—changes us and influences those who observe us. Not everyone will become a teacher or a leader, but everyone can become the best version of themselves by cultivating the fruits of the spirit. In doing so, we become true ambassadors of the revelation.
“You shall know them by their fruits.” (140:4.7)
Since April 1, new members have joined the International Service Board (ISB), bringing fresh ideas and inspiration. The Conference Committee is currently preparing two Urantiathon events: one for South America in August and one for Africa in November. Details will be shared with you very soon.
Each individual connected to the Association is important. The ISB Committee Chairs are committed to diligently serving our global Urantia family, keeping you informed through our website, the Tidings newsletter, and official communications from the administrative office.
To better meet the needs of members and readers worldwide, we are currently undergoing a restructuring of our committees. The ISB is here to support its associations and to help facilitate the harmonious dissemination of The Urantia Book teachings.
In this spirit, the Education Committee is actively developing an online training platform for current and future leaders. This initiative aims to provide essential knowledge and tools to help start, maintain, and grow associations. This is only one example of the many projects underway, which will be featured in the next issue of Tidings.
The Unity Committee of Urantia Association continues to have uplifting and productive conversations with The Fellowship’s Unity Team.
Next month, the executive boards of our two organizations will come together for the first time in a friendly Zoom meet-and-greet. We invite you to join us in prayer as we seek to discern and follow God’s will in this unfolding journey.
To love is to serve,
Line St-Pierre, President
