A Review of the Urantia Leadership Symposium

This week's show will be especially interesting to Urantia Book students. The Urantia Association International (UAI) held a Leadership Symposium on July 13-17, 2011 at Techny Towers in Chicago. Multiple attendees will join the show to provide a recap of what happened at that event. This symposium was an effort to bring leaders together to learn essential and important aspects of the mission and purpose of the Urantia Book. It was an event designed to bring leaders together, not only to address organizational governance, but also to help and support Urantia study group hosts, who are certainly dedicated leaders. The symposium required that attendees share in the experience of learning about leadership. The concept being that every leader, no matter how big or small their contribution, is essential to the success of any mission. The hope was that these leaders would help each other become more effective by sharing their experiences. In The Urantia Book, we are told that teamwork is one of the most important lessons we learn in this life. Leaders are not loners; they are people that bring people together to accomplish a goal through personal relationships.
