Bring The Light - Be A Torchbearer - A Workshop With Guest Stephen Zendt

This week we finish our study of Paper 81 from The Urantia Book, The Development of Modern Civilization, featuring Stephen Zendt. Last week we finished reading Section 6. The Maintenance of Civilization. There are 15 separate thought provoking points in one section. Stephen Zendt can now take us closer to understanding what it means to be a torchbearer. Stephen Zendt is a remarkable scholar of the Urantia revelation who has served it for decades. In 1994 he helped to professionally read the entire Urantia Book on audio. He is a thoughtful spiritual writer and blogger and we're delighted to have him on the show again. You can read his blog, the Fifth Epochal Power Hour, here: http://www.urantiabook.org/fifth-epochal-power-hour The workshop that Stephen will guide us through, is based on Paper 81. He originally presented this at the Urantia Book Fellowship's Summer Study Session a few years ago. It keys in on the concept of "torchbearers" from Section 6 of Paper 81. As Stephen takes us through this workshop, we'll explore questions like: Who or what is a torchbearer? What does a torchbearer do? Is it a natural ability or an acquired one? Who counts as a torchbearer in your life? What makes a torchbearer effective? How can you be a torchbearer? Consider this quote: "Leadership is vital to progress. Wisdom, insight, and foresight are indispensable to the endurance of nations. Civilization is never really jeopardized until able leadership begins to vanish. And the quantity of such wise leadership has never exceeded one per cent of the population." Please join us as we explore what it means to be a torchbearer with Stephen Zendt. It's a timely and relevant study, so give us a call live 646-716-8158 and/or tune in Saturday at 10am MST, to join the chat! Check out our page on Facebook!
