What happened
Seventy-One Years of Waiting.
One Archbishop. One Open Door.
Since the Urantia Book was first published in 1955, the revelation community has hoped for exactly this: a major Christian institution opening its doors from the inside. On April 26, 2026, it happened.
Archbishop Kaziimba Mugalu — the supreme leader of the Anglican Church of Uganda, one of the largest Anglican provinces in the world — personally introduced a Urantia teacher to 300 of his bishops and pastors, called on them to study the revelation, and announced his intention to donate land for a permanent teaching center. He calls the Urantia Book "the lost teachings of Jesus."
He did this nine days after burying his father. He is already rushing to act before his retirement closes this window.

How This Came to Be
August 2022, Jinja. The first large Uganda conference introduces the revelation to Anglican clergy, partially funded by The Urantia Book Fellowship. The seeds are planted.
Three more conferences follow. Each one reaches further into the church hierarchy. Bishop David Magezi — the archbishop's personal secretary, who had himself encountered the Urantia Book in the United States years earlier — becomes a key bridge.
April 26–30, 2026, Pakwelo. The archbishop calls the fifth conference himself. By day three, the audience swells from 300 to approximately 500. Additional tents are erected. On the same day, the Urantia Foundation's Mustard Seed Grants Program awards $2,725 for books and connectivity.
May 6, 2026. The archbishop facilitates the purchase of 15 acres of land in Ibanda District — valued at approximately $41,000 USD — for the permanent teaching center. The land agreement is signed and witnessed by local council officials.
Now. The archbishop is asking for help to build on what he has started — before his retirement in August 2027 changes what is possible.
"The so-called Christian church becomes the cocoon in which the kingdom of Jesus' concept now slumbers. The kingdom of the divine brotherhood is still alive and will eventually and certainly come forth from this long submergence."
