Fifth Epochal Fellowship
The Fifth Epochal Fellowship continues the work of the
URANTIA Brotherhood. It was originally founded in 1955 by
students of The URANTIA Book, a large volume of channeled
material published that same year. The brotherhood operated
for many years as an association to nurture people who had
been attracted to the Urantia teachings, and several of its members
had published helpful study tools. However, in 1989, the
brotherhood had a disagreement with the URANTIA Foundation,
which owned the trademarks of the name URANTIA and
the publishing rights to The URANTIA Book. The foundation
withdrew the right of the brotherhood to use the name or the
symbols associated with the book. The brotherhood reorganized,
changing its name to the Fifth Epochal Fellowship, and
continued much as before. The fellowship publishes a newsletter,
the Fifth Epochal Fellowship Bulletin, and may be contacted
at 529 W. Wrightwood, Chicago, IL 60614-1794.
