Jesus and the Olympics
Well, they weren't really Olympics--they were the annual  competitive
games among
the Greek cities of the Decapolis.  They likely  were held here in
this amphitheater
in Scythopolis; the place where  Jesus shocked Joseph with his interest in these
 "heathen" activities.

The Urantia Fellowship's International Fellowship Committee

THE NIGERIAN BOOK FAIR REPORT 2012

"Fostering the Faith Experience"

Upon deciding to schedule a booth at the Nigerian International Book Fair - May
7 - 12, 2012 - most of our friends and relatives reacted with
considerable concerns.
Nigeria certainly has a reputation for much that is unsavory; i.e. money scams,
anti-Christian terrorism, governmental corruption, etc. Perhaps, these
are exactly
the reasons we were directed to go to Nigeria and share the good news
of the Gospel
and this Revelation.

Upon arrival, our great friend, Emeka Anazodo who worked so diligently
with us in
Ghana, was there to greet us at the airport - along with his soon-to-be married
wife Sunshine Akudo, their 3 children (Maya, CJ, and Van), and a
cousin.  Ed Harrigan
of Alaska was already there - having arrived a week early to live with Emeka and
 family in Ikorodu.  Arriving near the same time, was Barbara Maier and Marilyn
Conner; also of Alaska.  On our flight was Charlene Morrow of
Oklahoma, Arlene Weimer
and I (we're from Colorado, yeah!)

The Team was growing. We drove to the University of Lagos and settled
into our designated
rooms at the Guest House. In 2 days' time, Emmanuel Agbeko and Aikins
Oswaldo would
arrive from Ghana (with the financial assistance from the Fellowship)
to join the
Team. And, several days later, Julius Taiwo (a Foundation/UAI reader
from Nigeria)
joined us. We now had our full Team of 11 plus Jesus made it 12.

How to Make Today a Day to Surpass all Days

When Is Jesus' Birthday?

By Dr. Chris M. Halvorson  (122:8.1).Mithras-and subsequently, the
incarnation of
Jesus-was assumed to be at the start of a year, with the birth nine months later
 on December 25, the winter solstice.) Due to the imprecision of the Julian leap
 year system (viz., every fourth year, with the extra day added before February
25), the date of the vernal equinox drifted as the centuries passed. One of the
goals of the calendar reform of Pope Gregory XIII was to reset the
date of the vernal
equinox to roughly the same date that it held at the time of the
Council of Nicea
in A.D. 325, when the original method for calculating the date of
Easter was established.
To that end, the day following Thursday, October 4, 1582 (in the
Julian Calendar)
was declared to be Friday, October 15, 1582, the first official date
of the Gregorian
Calendar.

The Urantia Book says that Jesus was born "at noon, August 21, 7 B.C."

A 1-day Mini Conference for Urantia Book Readers   by Andrea Barnes

The month of July has been a busy one for members of the outreach Committee.  We
 hosted a 1-day mini conference for Urantia Book readers in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
 and in Seattle, Washington.

In the morning we invite the public out for an introduction to the
book.  In Coeur
d'Alene we held it at a local coffee shop that had a nice private room.  Only 2
people showed up to hear about the book but they were both very interested.  One
 of them came out for the social that we put on in the afternoon for
existing readers.
 This gave him the chance to meet the hosts of study groups and now he
feels welcome
to attend a group in the area.  It was good for the existing readers
to hear someone
introduce the book to people who have never heard of it.

Andrea Barnes introduces the book

In Seattle a local reader helped us get a hotel conference

Seattle Readers Gather for Introduction to the book.

room set up for the day.  About 19 readers from the greater Seattle area turned
out to hear the introduction.  There was only one person that came out
to hear about
the book in the morning and another one came in the afternoon.  The
existing readers
got a chance to practice their introductory 'speeches' and we gave
feedback to them.
 A lot was learned about outreach, the existing readers had a chance to connect
and make plans for new groups, gatherings, and introductions.  We all
talked about
how wonderful it is to be with other Urantia Book readers and these
mini conferences
allow so many who cannot make the big conferences a chance for that
type of fellowship!

If you are interested in having a 1, 2, or 3-day mini conference in
your area please
contact Andrea Barnes at andbarnes@gmail.com [mailto:andbarnes@gmail.com].

A VERY BIG THANK YOU!

Pierre Chicoine

We just finished a large endeavor with the help of a handful of
volunteers.  Hundreds
of articles written by Urantia Book readers dating back to 1994 have
been catergorized
by Title, Author, Date, and Category have been set up in a searchable database.
 Pierre Chicoine created the database and the following volunteers
assisted in actual
categorization of the articles.

Mario Marioncelli

* Will Venard
* Chris Echols
* Maxine Adams
* Wilha Widtfeldt
Again, thank you to all of the volunteers that made this project possible! We'll
 roll it out next month for all to see.

AND
If you want to run virtual / telephone study groups, or support an
existing physical
one, I have the perfect free tool: http://www.freeconferencing.com/
[http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001HoICam6rmDCZOmHnTY--7ts5r26c7qkyvmJXI3OrGtI-xqjSnangyzCGqR7aiTcanqS6FolyzhSq6_qx9tfi5w3HwE7MH1Vp33c7aDQI-vXl6FBqQmR9qjVxY0ev-svm]
I was amazed and thrilled after successfully testing this service with
three phones
and screen sharing. Also, people not on an unlimited calling plan can get in for
 free with Skype.
This tool enables the group leader/facilitator to let everyone have an
equal chance
to talk and to hear what's going in. It levels the playing field and encourages
interaction:
·         Telephone Access
·         Skype Access
·         Up to 1,000 callers
·         Facilitator can mute individual callers
·         Facilitator can share slides pictures, a computer screen
·         The session can be recorded
·         Session can be up to 6 hours

ANNOUNCING THE NEW UVERSA PRESS
ONLINE CATALOG

The  Urantia Book Fellowship is pleased to announce that we are now
offering, via
our web store, many of the books that used to be offered  in the
Morning Star Catalog
(formerly the Good Cheer Catalog.) Our newly  redesigned web store is
now open for
business and contains many of the  great books and study aids that Urantia Book
readers love as well as  some brand new gems for your contemplation
and inspiration.
 As you peruse this new online catalog, remember that it  represents
how the revelation
has personally inspired each individual  author. Most of our authors
are not professional
writers, but dedicated  and long-time students of the revelation who were moved
to reflect, in  some humble way, the light of truth, beauty, and goodness found
so  abundantly in The Urantia Book.
Click here to visit the new UVERSA PRESS CATALOG.

If you haven't yet discovered "How I found the Urantia Book" compiled by Saskia
Praamsma I highly recommend giving it a read. I have decided to make it easy for
 you by featuring

different stories from the book on UrantiaNow.com for your pleasure.

I'm going to start with the first

letter from the book written
by CLYDE BEDELL (1924).

Enjoy!
