Salutations

Andon and Fonta, serving with morontia personalities on the first mansion world, are not permitted to send greetings to Urantia. 63:7.3

Avoid wasting time on trivialities like social visiting and instead focus wholeheartedly on preaching the gospel with zeal and initiative, rather than engaging in elaborate ceremonies of oriental salutations. (163:4.5,13)

Salute no man by the way, attend only to your work as messengers of the kingdom, proclaiming peace on earth and good will among men. 163:1.3
