SUMMER STUDY SESSION 2012
Progressive Planetary Civilization
The Education Committee of The Urantia Book Fellowship invites you to come and join us for the Fellowship Summer Study Session,
August 1-5, 2012, at beautiful Techny Towers, a conference and retreat center located in
Chicago’s North Shore. Plans for the conference include a pre-conference retreat from Wednesday
evening, August 1st through Friday morning, August 3rd, and a pre-conference guided City Tour
of Chicago’s lakefront architecture is also available. We really want to make this a family event.
Prices have been kept as they were in 2010. There will be no registration fees for children under 18, and we have
scholarships available especially for families in order to bring costs down and allow attendees to bring children or grandchildren.
A special children’s program will be provided.
If you would like to conduct a workshop, a Workshop Proposal Form should be filled out and returned to Peter Laurence, Program Chair, by March 1st, 2012. After that date the Education Committee will review the proposals and select the ones that will provide a balanced and informative program. We invite proposals from both those who are experienced workshop presenters and those who may be presenting for the first time.
The committee is encouraging people who’ve never created a workshop to do so. We will partner with people one on one and give as much or as little assistance as someone may need or want. Workshops may be focused on the broader aspects of the topic or on any subset such as ‘education’ or ‘religion.’
The primary focus of the Summer Study Session is an in-depth study of The Urantia Book, but proposals that link Urantia Book concepts to contemporary thought and practice are welcome. There are numerous parts of the book that speak to progressive planetary evolution and not just those that are labeled as such. Workshops should examine the broad implications of the theme so we that we have an interestingly diverse scope of programs. Study of the book can be greatly enriched by relating it to its present context.
Space is limited, so hurry before it's too late.
