UAI does not express opinions or take positions on political, social, or economic issues and does not identify itself with any nationality, race, or religion. We do encourage our members, as individuals, to become active and influential members of social, moral, economic, and political groups.

UAI is not a church or an organized religion. We do not compete with any faith or religion. UAI welcomes people of all faiths, races, and nationalities. We seek spiritual fellowship among all people of this world. True religion is the personal spiritual experience of each individual. UAI is a group endeavour by religionists who study The Urantia Book and are inspired by its revelatory teachings; people who wish to cooperate with all other religionists to achieve the spiritual, social, and moral regeneration of this world. UAI members come from many different religions and cultures and have a personal relationship with God that is inspired by The Urantia Book. The teachings of The Urantia Book call upon all people to share spiritual unity, not uniformity, meaning that while our beliefs may differ, our faith and destiny are the same.

How Is UAI Organized?

UAI is an organization of national and local associations of Urantia Book readers from around the world. Local associations have at least ten full members and national associations have at least 30 full members. A Representative council (RC), comprised of the Presidents and Vice Presidents of all the national associations, acts as the legislative branch of UAI. The International Service Board (ISB) functions as the executive branch and conducts the daily business of UAI. The ISB is comprised of a governing board and committees for Dissemination, Study Groups, Education, Communications, Translations, Membership, Conferences, and Charter and Bylaws.

UAI and the Urantia Book

We believe that The Urantia Book is the Fifth Epochal Revelation of God to man. The Urantia Book, first published in 1955 by Urantia Foundation, provides information about the origin, history, and destiny of mankind. It is richly detailed with scientific and historical information that integrates science and religion. Its 2097 pages are organized in 196 papers that explain our personal relationship with God and our importance as individual cosmic citizens, in a vast universe of universes. The Urantia Book is a guide for teaching friendship with God.

“Of all human knowledge, that which is of greatest value is to know the religious life of Jesus and how he lived it.” [The Urantia Book, Paper 196:1, p. 2090]
