Patty Mundelius, President of Urantia Foundation:

"We have not given consideration as to where we might be classified under
world religions. We believe we could be considered essentially Christian,
yet Buddhists, Hindus, and many other religions or philosophical systems of
thought would find considerable harmony with the teachings of the Urantia
Book. If one must classify, I guess we should be just called 'Urantians.'"
