Sowing Seeds of Truth
A testimony from Urantia Association of Quebec
In Quebec, our association is continually looking for ways to live its mission in a concrete, touching way that is adapted to the realities of our society. We know that The Urantia Book has a depth that can sometimes be challenging for those who open it for the first time. Yet, the impetus to share it—or rather to share its values, its light, and its spirit—remains alive in the heart of our Urantia community.
It was from this reflection that our board of directors came up with a different, gentler, and more humane approach: finding simple ways to approach people to God, and to approach God to people. During our discussions, it became clear that dissemination is not only the act of giving away a book, but also a way of awakening values, nurturing consciousness and creating opportunities where truth can find its way naturally.
An initiative born from a desire to embody the mission
With the holiday season at hand, a time for generosity and kindness, the Board of Directors of Urantia Association of Quebec has decided to allocate a budget to a simple but promising initiative: “Sowing Seeds of Truth.”
The intention behind this project was to offer our Quebec readers concrete ways to express their desire to share the light, each according to their sensitivity. Not by trying to convince, but by choosing the right moment when a gesture, a book or a collection could touch an open heart.
How we proposed this initiative to our readers
To bring this project to life, Urantia Association of Quebec presented its members with different ways to sow these seeds of truth in their surroundings.
• Offering The Urantia Book
Each member could receive up to three copies free of charge. A book offered at the right time can become an open door to the true, the beautiful, and the good.
• Share more accessible spiritual books
We have also made available — free of charge — several inspiring collections and books:
- The Inner Life
- Towards Inner Peace
- Étincelles d’infini (for children) only in French
- Graines de lumière (for children) only in French
These books are so many small luminous doors, easy to share and perfectly adapted to awaken spiritual curiosity with gentleness. They have all been designed from the values that emerge from the teachings of The Urantia Book and reflect the spirit of the teachings of The Urantia Book.
For us, this initiative represents more than a one-time project. It testifies to our desire to be a living association, rooted in fraternity, service and simplicity.
By sharing this experience with the international community, we simply want to testify to how our association in Quebec strives to make the mission alive, accessible and profoundly human. We learn that light is shared in many ways — and that often, the smallest seeds are the ones that yield the best harvests.
