I have also enjoyed following this discussion. Good ideas have been brought forth. Phillip and Lee have both made simple yet poignant suggestions. Perhaps we could leave it here and see what revisions the committee comes up with. Hopefully we will get to review it before it becomes ‘permanent’. They have worked hard on their assignment, freely giving their hours for all of us and I thank them. My evening prayers include a desire for a spiritual revival for our country (and our world). I pray that God will break the chains of fear and hate that imprison so many so that they may be able to stand up and breathe free and feel the true love of God….. and then they will begin to love our true Father who will help them to learn to love each other. Fear and hate will be abolished. God is good……all the time!!! Live in such a way that those who don’t know God will come to know God because they know you.

I also recommend keeping “Father” and Jesus; but adding stimulation via some cosmic yet down-to-earth descriptives: With affectionate dedication to Father/Mother God, as loving spiritual parents to all the universes, and to their Creator Son, known as Jesus, who is a living revelation to our planet, it is our conviction…. ---------------------------------------------------------- On Aug 3, 2022, at 11:15 AM, Philip G Calabrese <pc@datasynthesis.org <mailto:pc@datasynthesis.org> > wrote: With affectionate dedication to God, our spiritual father and his Creator Son, Jesus, it is our conviction that the well-being of individuals, families, and society will be uplifted by the formation of an organization devoted to the purposes herein stated; we therefore unite under the name of THE URANTIA BOOK FELLOWSHIP, and adopt and establish this revised CONSTITUTION OF THE URANTIA BOOK FELLOWSHIP.
