"IN THE MINDS of the mortals of Urantia--that being the name of your world--there exists great confusion respecting the meaning of such terms as God, divinity, and deity. Human beings are still more confused and uncertain about the relationships of the divine personalities designated by these numerous appellations. Because of this conceptual poverty associated with so much ideational confusion, I have been directed to formulate this introductory statement in explanation of the meanings which should be attached to certain word symbols as they may be hereinafter used in those papers which the Orvonton corps of truth revealers have been authorized to translate into the English language of Urantia." - Urantia Book Foreward Excerpt - Click for Book Location Map

A Pato Banton concert is an event not to be missed and an experience not to be forgotten. Such will be the opening of IC08 -- soul awakening music, a moving story of personal service, and the worshipful inauguration of nearly a week of socialization, workshops, plenaries, and exciting events.
Known for delivering a message that is food for both mind and soul, many have considered Pato's charismatic performance as live theatre. He mixes music with audience dialog on a range of topics including spiritual freedom and religious commitment while keeping the vibes upbeat and fun! Many have said that the positive outlook generated from the stage has changed their lives forever. Sometimes Pato invites his fans to join him in a prayer circle after the show, where some have cried while sharing their stories of contemplated suicide, isolation after losing a loved one, struggles with substance abuse or how their personal connection with Pato has given them the strength to "Stay Positive" & "Never Give In." Conference Vision Said Jesus to his followers, You are to love all men as I have loved you; you are to serve all men as I have served you. (P.2041.6). If you would share the Master's joy, you must share his love. And to share his love means that you have shared his service. (P 1945.2).  Purpose of Conference The purpose of this conference is to bring the idea and ideals of service to the forefront of the minds of those readers who are associated with the Fifth Epochal Revelation. We hope to raise the awareness that service is a key component of Jesus’ gospel of love for man and God and that we can all serve in some capacity as we go about living our spiritual lives. Our goal then is to entice readers with the thrilling experience of loving service by helping each conference attendee explore the possibilities of living a more service filled life. In all we hope to come to a better understanding of how service is personal, individual, and spiritually dependent on God. Ultimately we hope attendees will leave this conference with a strong desire to walk that "second mile of free service and liberty loving devotion" (P. 2084.5) and recognize that " the ideal life is one of loving service " (P1206.2).If you want to learn more about the philosophy behind the programming for IC 08,

The essence of Jesus's teachings was love and service (P 1008.1). He taught that service to one's fellows is the highest concept of the brotherhood of spirit believers (P 2017.4), and those who are born of the spirit will show forth the fruits of the spirit in loving service to their fellow creatures (2054.3). Acceptance of His teachings leads us to the recognition that we are all sons and daughters of a loving God and that our attitude towards our fellows should be characterized by loving service. Cultivating an attitude of loving service is the theme of this year's conference. So let us come together in reflection and communion in the spirit to experience the Thrill of loving service.
