10. Do readers have rituals, dogmas or religious practices?

ANSWER #1: Religion is a personal experience. The expression of that experience finds as many varieties as there are people on this sphere. Although we do believe that our personal practices in worship and personal communion will change over time as we change, there isn’t any set form of how readers must experience their personal religion, only the honest desire and striving to live by the sublime teachings found in the Urantia Book. These teachings lead us to the desire to become more spiritual individuals, which will one day spiritualize cultures, then eventually the whole world.  Additionally, readers use meditation, worship, music, art and prayer as do all faiths, to experience the expansion of the spirit within.

ANSWER #2: The Urantia Book teaches us that Jesus reduced all rituals down to one: a supper in remembrance of him. Some readers find it hard to do without the rituals they grew up with and have attempted to bring their cherished religious habits into Urantia gatherings, but there is nothing in the Urantia Book to advocate or support such practices.
