primary organizations associated with The Urantia Book.

1950 to be the custodian of the inviolate text of The Urantia Book and
to ensure that the book's teachings are spread, with the help of
readers and fraternal organizations, to all people." The Foundation's
headquarters are at 533 Diversey Ave., Chicago.
The Urantia Book Fellowship is the social
branch through which the book's teachings are spread although the
distinction between the functions of the Foundation and the Fellowship
has become blurred. From its establishment in 1955 until the late 1980s
the Fellowship was known as the Urantia Brotherhood and then the name
was changed. The Fellowship's headquarters are a mail box in Grand
Central Station, (PO Box 4583), New York, and in the electronic ether
through telephone, internet (

and email as well as committee meetings throughout the year.
