I am a longtime Urantia Book reader who was born in Taiwan in 1947. I moved to the United States in the 1970s, but I return to Taiwan and China often and maintain a good connection there. You could say that I have brought what I've learned in the west back to the east, and that includes the fifth epochal revelation.

For many years I have studied and been very active in a spiritual organization called A Course in Light (ACIL). At one point I published an article about The Urantia Book on...Read More

Then imagine that, for the first half of your adult life, you were able to pursue your first passion as a career and profession, sharing the love and gift of music.

Finally imagine adding the joy of joining the staff of Urantia Foundation, the original publisher and...Read More

Editor's Note: This article was originally published in the May 30, 2020 "Interfaith Voices" column of the Corvallis (OR) Gazette-Times, under the title "A Slice of My Faith Pie."

I was taught that belief attains to a level of faith "when it motivates life and shapes the mode of living." 101:8.1 (1114.5) My faith in a loving God, the source of all creation, all truth, beauty, and goodness, inspires me to love him in return through service.
