The Round Table
The Round Table is the leadership body
of the Mission. While
Maitreya is alive, its
purpose is to advise and support Him, as
well as be trained by Him to correctly
lead the Mission. After
Maitreya leaves His
body, it will take His
place as the head of the Mission
organization. The Round Table's primary purpose
at that point will
be to find Maitreya
again (in His next lifetime) and
reinstall Him to leadership of the
Mission. The Round
Table will also form the top level of
the facilitating body, once the
Mission reaches that point (see
The Plan).
It will eventually have 12 members,
chosen from those who are 100% dedicated
to the Mission,
understand the teachings, have
leadership abilities and can cooperate
together to do God's Will, etc.
This section of the website gathers the
information relating
to the Round Table in one place.
Important announcements and decisions by
the Round Table are also accessible
here.
About the Round Table
Formation of the Round Table: The original
article announcing the formation and purpose of the Round Table,
from the
January 2009 Newsbrief.
Passing of the Scepter: The Supplement in
THOTH explaining the succession
of leadership in the Mission, the Round Table's
role and function, the relationship of this arrangement to the
spiritual authority and Spirit of God (the Scepter or Body of
Christ), etc.
From the Round Table
Statements
and Decisions: This section contains statements issued
by the Round Table about issues of importance to the Mission.
These statements are not directly from Maitreya as
the Prophet of God, but from the Round Table as Mission
leadership. Therefore, they are not part of the Teachings, but still
represent the Mission's official position on these
issues.
Also, in 2015 the Round Table for the first time
issued an official recommendation or "ruling"
(decision) on how to handle a specific matter
according to Maitreya's
Teachings. The Round Table hopes that publishing
these decisions will give guidance for others in
similar situations and/or show how to
practically apply the Teachings to make
decisions in individual matters.
Of course, while Maitreya is
alive and able, He participates in the
development of and approves all such statements
and decisions by the Round Table.
