"For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect"
Matthew 24:24

Spearheaded by Episcopal Bishop William Swing, the U.R. was created in June of 1993 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the United Nations.

Modeled after the U.N. the U.R. will have a General Assembly, a security council and a Secretary -General and is intended to be for religions, what the U.N. is for nations.

Rather than the light of Christ, the U.R. will shine, declares Bishop Swing, "the light of the world's spiritual traditions [paganism and occultism included] into a world desperately in need of light." [Catholic Family News Oct. 1996 Vol. 3 Issue no. 10]
