To increase
awareness of the Oneness of All That Is by expanding Light, Peace, and
unconditional Love. Vision
To provide an
environment that supports individual and universal transformation through
effective prayer, compassionate education, service, and creating Good
moment by moment. Code of Conduct We
need to be centered and operating from the Divine and show compassionate
care for everyone and everything. We
must acknowledge that our personal feelings and personal beliefs are ours
alone and should be described as such when shared with others. We are all here with our own missions. Remember that those missions will be different and diverse and hold respect for each mission and the presence of the one nurturing it.
Expansion
and Evolution Our During the weekend of June 2 and 3, 2006 a Strategic Planning Session was held at the U.R. Lodge, attended by the board of directors, the staff, members of the Operations Committee, and volunteers. The purpose of the meeting was to review the progress made at United Research since the previous planning session almost two years ago (really amazing), to set new goals for the near and long-term future, and to determine concrete methods of reaching those goals. In the coming months we will be sharing those goals with you in this newsletter. We are living in a time of vital importance and change for our world, and all who read these words are blessed with the knowledge of how to create that change for the good of all. Since United Research was founded and is maintained expressly to help individuals access and create from the Divinity within themselves, we know you will want to share in the accomplishment of the goals United Research will achieve. There are many fantastic opportunities ahead for everyone. One of the dictionary’s definitions of evolution is “unfolding.” Like a butterfly. Like a rose. Just as each of you is in a process of unfolding, of discovering newness moment by moment, so United Research also has been opening up new and beautiful layers. In 1993 a mission statement was brought into being through prayer, and you have seen that statement printed on display in many places, including this newsletter. Over the past few years many people have received in prayer that it is time for this mission statement to change, to evolve, to unfold into a more beautiful expression of the vision of United Research. This was the first matter to be addressed at the Strategic Planning Session. The entire group, after prayer, felt there could be more clarity of intent. Every person contributed to the outcome, and the process continued until every person felt the peace of true accomplishment. It was finally decided that the statement should be in two parts, the mission and the vision: the mission being our fundamental purpose or reason for being, and the vision being the ways to achieve that purpose. United Research has no membership and no formalized belief system, and we do not proselytize nor ask that anyone change his or her belief system in favor of our teachings. Yet we often refer to the “U.R. family,” meaning anyone, anywhere, who has an interest in United Research and its acknowledgment of the Divinity within everyone and everything. Therefore, also in 1993, members of the board of directors defined a code of conduct that supports this tenet and acts as a reminder to monitor our own thoughts and actions. It is such a beautiful call to “right thinking” and “right action” that we know you will want to refer to it again and again. Our
gift to you from the U.R. Board of Directors, Staff, Operations Committee,
and Volunteers
