:2. Translation in other languages: There are only 18 or so translations in sixty years of the Foundation and a few years of the Fellowship‘s version of the book, with some only partially accomplished—a halfhearted effort. (Note: You are advised that with the full force of the readership in union to accomplish this purpose there would have appeared so many ―persons of means who may be thus led to provide funds for translation into other languages‖ that there would be a book translation already for every language spoken at the United Nations.)

:3. Foster thousands upon thousands of study groups (Definition: foster >verb: ―to promote and encourage the development of‖). This was a publication mandate as well that has been considered with meager commitment. Each social organization publishes a ―Study Group List and/or Guide, but certainly none of these organizations, including Urantia Foundation have ever seriously considered fostering study groups. Especially alarming is the absence of effective study programs for children, their parents, and families.

Most damaging is your failure to study and apply Jesus‘ methods to the dissemination of the Urantia revelation.

The Urantia Book was given to us in the twentieth century and early enough, not for your current needs, but to be available in full force at that future time when many men and women will have an insatiable desire to know God and do His Will. It was given to but a few who would begin to train teachers and leaders and prepare the mechanisms that will be ready in the future to attract the best of humankind. And these mechanisms would include fostering thousands upon thousands of study groups from which millions of consecrated believers with established and growing religious, philosophical, and cosmological organizations to welcome them.
