CESNUR Religious Scholars Visit the Center

On July 16, over 30 religious scholars visited the Academy’s New World Teaching Center in El Cajon at the conclusion of their international conference at San Diego State University. The tour of Unarius’ international headquarters was one of the activities offered during the four-day conference, which was organized by CESNUR (Center for Studies on New Religions) in Torino, Italy and the Department of Religious Studies and the Society for the Academic Study of Religion at SDSU. Many of these scholars were familiar with Unarius so they were excited to actually be able to visit the Center and to speak directly to Unariun students about their beliefs and experiences.

Several students gave an overview of the more recent developments and activities of Unarius—new information for the scholars—and then answered their many questions, such as did we have a personal contact with Uriel and when will the Space Brothers land. There was just enough time left for a quick tour of the Center’s futuristic artifacts, like the Model City of the Future. However, many of the visitors buzzed around the Center on their own, asking more questions and checking out materials available for purchase, particularly DVDs to show in their religious studies classes. 

Religious scholars may classify Unarius as a new religion versus a spiritual science, but no matter how they describe Unarius, the scholars who visited the Center were very open, respectful, and positive about what they learned from their tour.
