Urantia Book Readers Express Dismay at Lack of Support for Kulieke
NASHVILLE: Alvin Kulieke was a young member of the legendary Forum – the people who first read and discussed the manuscripts which later became the Urantia Papers in the 1930s and 40s. Kulieke later served as President of the Urantia Brotherhood in the 1970s until his death. In his professional life, he served as principal of Prospect High School from its opening in 1952 to his death in 1973. In all areas, he seems to have served with honor and distinction, which is why the lack of public support for his legacy by the main Urantia organizations is so troubling for Urantia Book readers around the country.
The controversy began when Kulieke’s reputation was attacked by a student journalist at Prospect High School demanding that his name be removed from the school’s theater. The primary reason given was his involvement with the Urantia Book, which, in its 2097 pages, contains a couple of politically incorrect quotes on the science of eugenics. This led to a school board vote to remove Kulieke’s name from the school’s theater.
“Where was the Foundation? Where was the Fellowship? Where was the International Urantia Association?” said Urantia Corps for Spiritual Progress founder Rebecca Bynum. “This was a direct attack on the Urantia Book, and the main Urantia organizations were all completely absent and, at least publicly, silent. Even if they sent letters to the school board privately, their lack of public response does not inspire confidence among the readership.”
“This matter has farther reaching significance than meets the eye; it is a moment preserved,” added UCSP member Tia Thompson. “The Urantia Book has been publicly introduced as hateful, and the Forum members of ill-repute because of it. This matter concerns everyone, especially those who say they love and uphold the Urantia Revelation.”
The Urantia Book had one lone defender who attended the school board meeting, Halbert Katzen, creator of the Urantia Book Annotated website.
“Renaming the Kulieke Theater has particular significance for the Urantia community, as it should,” began Katzen. “This specific type of attack is also part of a general social trend. However, the bigger issue is teaching students of all ages to not rush to conclusions, to do thorough research, to be fair and respectful towards previous generations, and to understand that reasonable minds will differ on complex issues regarding social evolution,” he said.
UCSP member Dorenda Morse added, “Many people are not familiar with the Urantia Book. They don’t know if it’s good or bad, but they do listen to the news, and if it is represented in a bad light, then it eventually becomes common opinion. This should serve to wake up Urantia Book readers to the need to react quickly and strongly to defend the Urantia Book.”
“I am so disappointed that people demean others’ opinions and perspectives and beliefs,” said UCSP member Marti Garlow Leib. “We should be taking actions on those issues which uplift humanity rather than tearing down an individual’s worthwhile contributions throughout their mortal life achievements.”
Long time reader and UCSP member, Cheryl Phillips said, “I was extremely disheartened to see the school board vote to take Mr Kulieke’s name down because of his beliefs, not his character and how he treated the students & teachers under his leadership which to me should have been most important. It’s been so many years, but surely there is someone alive who remembers him personally. I also agree that our leadership should have made a firm stand to defend our brother and our beliefs. This was a chance to make ourselves known and to be courageous in defending the Urantia Revelation!”
The Urantia Corps for Spiritual Progress is dedicated to promoting and defending the Urantia Book.

Durant, Oklahoma
New inspirational release explores resilience, purpose, and personal growth during life’s most difficult seasons.
Author Nick Robinson announces the release of Thriving in the Wilderness: Discovering the Secrets God Has Hidden in the Dry and Difficult Seasons of Life, an inspirational book written for readers navigating hardship, uncertainty, and seasons of personal challenge.
In Thriving in the Wilderness, Robinson explores the idea that difficult seasons can become turning points rather than setbacks. Through personal reflection, timeless life lessons, and examples of endurance, the book encourages readers to look at hardship as a period of preparation, growth, and renewed direction.

The book examines common struggles such as discouragement, waiting, loss, fear, frustration, and the search for meaning. Robinson presents the “wilderness” as a symbol for the dry and difficult periods people often face, whether emotionally, personally, professionally, or spiritually. Rather than viewing those seasons as wasted time, he invites readers to see them as opportunities to develop strength, character, patience, and purpose.
“I have personally walked through many wilderness experiences,” Robinson shares in the book. “Through these times I have learned to put my trust in the Lord and not lean on my own understanding.”
Thriving in the Wilderness is designed for readers who may feel stuck, overlooked, or uncertain about what comes next. Robinson offers practical encouragement for moving through difficult moments without losing hope, identity, or direction.
The book also includes reflection sections that invite readers to examine their own experiences and consider what they may be learning through the challenges they face. With its accessible message and encouraging tone, Thriving in the Wilderness reminds readers that difficult seasons can shape them for something greater.
