Joining ANZURA
The Urantia revelation is one of the most inspiring and important books in the world. It speaks to our souls and has the power to transform us if we embrace it and decide to adopt the teachings into our everyday lives.
For those of you who understand the significance of The Urantia Book and would like to lend a helping hand in the spreading of the book and its teachings throughout Australia and New Zealand, have you ever considered joining ANZURA as a member? ANZURA’s members have discovered the integrated beauty of The Urantia Book’s supernal teachings and have responded to an inner desire to serve their fellows in our mutual quest for truth, beauty, and goodness. By joining, you signal support for the work ANZURA does. Even though we’re a small band of Urantia Book readers, much can be achieved by a few when the desire to serve is there.
Our mission statement is to “Foster study of The Urantia Book and disseminate its teachings” so everything we do is an attempt to fulfill that purpose. So what does ANZURA actually do?
- We serve as a central hub—a contact point—for readers in our region of Australia and New Zealand who want to contact other readers, or to join or start a study group, or to find out about activities and events. To provide this kind of networking service, we maintain a mailing list of readers so we can coordinate this process.
- We organise an annual three-day conference in a different capital city each year for those who wish to get together with others who understand and love the book, and to study and fraternise in a safe and friendly environment.
- We keep a stock of Urantia Books as well as interesting study aids and derivative works written and produced by readers who are inspired to share and provide their insights into various aspects of the book.
- We provide and maintain a website that provides news and information about our services and programs as well as making many study aids and reader articles available.
- We assist readers in their outreach activities by providing Urantia Books and other materials for projects such as book fairs, expos, market stalls, library placement and gifts.
- We publish the Arena newsletter twice a year that contains news and events as well as articles and presentations.
- We have a central office run by volunteers who take care of the administrative duties to maintain all the above.
There are two categories of membership: one is a “Full Member” for those who have read The Urantia Book in its entirety. The second is an “Associate Member” for those who are in the process of reading the book with intent to finish it but have not yet completed a full reading.
A full member has voting rights in official meetings as well as being eligible to hold office on the Board; an associate member may attend meetings but does not have voting rights and may not serve in positions on the Board.
There are several ways you can apply for membership. You can simply contact us via telephone or email and let us know of your interest and we’ll send you further information, or you can go to the website at: https://anzura-urassoc.arko.nyc/membership for more information.
