Webinars

Religious Habits—Eight Steps to Spiritual Growth

Presented by Mark Blackham. All meaningful religious growth depends on our conscious and intentional decisions.

Fortunately, we can ensure that we make the best decisions in all circumstances by developing good religious habits.

The Possibility of Fusion While Still Living in the Flesh

Finding Your Niche – Serving with the Master Seraphim

Presented by Susan Lyon. The Urantia Book reveals that there are twelve groups of master seraphim working diligently, in very specific fields of endeavor, for the welfare and benefit of our world.

On Wisdom and Worship: Becoming Human

Presented by Carolyn Prentice. The focus of this seminar is to explore how The Urantia Book discusses worship and wisdom, and how the expanded understanding of these terms can help us to grow spiritually.

The Importance of Psycho-Spiritual Work

Presented by Agnès Lazar and Guy Perron. Religious growth is a progressive life of self-realization, curiosity and adventure. And it is predicated on the discovery of selfhood accompanied by self-criticism — the criticism of oneself by one’s own value-habits, or personal ideals. [from 100:1.5]

On Gifts and Giving

Presented by Cheryl Glicker. Cheryl does a presentation on the “gifts” associated with the Fifth Epochal Revelation. A discussion of the meaning and value of some of these “gifts” is followed by a presentation of different types of “Giving” and discussion on how/why it is “more blessed to give than to receive.”

Modern Strategies for Spreading the Urantia Teachings

Presented by Urantia Association’s President, Chris Wood. Chris says there has long been a tension in our community between those who favor a “go slow” approach to spreading The Urantia Book teachings and those who favor “mass dissemination.” This webinar is an open reexamination of the issue in light of the digital age in which we now live.

The Divine Dance – A Challenge and a Joy – Are You Prepared for This Commitment?

Presented by Line St-Pierre. Line discusses “The religious challenge of this age is to those farseeing and forward-looking men and women of spiritual insight who will dare to construct a new and appealing philosophy of living out of the enlarged and exquisitely integrated modern concepts of cosmic truth, universe beauty, and divine goodness.”

The Discourse of the Master on the Soul

Presented by Guy Perron. A Divine Counselor tells us how much confusion there is in the minds of the individuals living on this planet, and there is a lot of confusion about the soul, this new reality we co-create with our Thought Adjuster. Let’s come together to appreciate how much the discourse of our Master on the soul dissolves that confusion.

The Greatest of All, Part 1

Presented by Rick Lyon. Rick does a word-search study for the term “the greatest of all” and for the word “greatest.” It is fascinating to pull one word from The Urantia Book and discover all the various usages and meanings of a single word. We will discover what is “the greatest of all” things and the “greatest” of many things.

True Religion—The Great Liberator

Presented by Guy Perron. Guy asks how can we courageously and steadfastly live our own relationship with God throughout the daily challenges of earthly living? How do we move from mere belief to living faith? How can we live in God, with God, for God, and for the spiritual well-being of all, including our own?

Spiritual Unity and The Spirit of Truth

Presented by the Urantia Association’s Judicial Commissioner, Benet Rutenberg.
