39:3.43. So­cial Ar­chi­tects. From the in­di­vid­ual plan­ets up through the mor­ontia train­ing worlds, these ser­a­phim la­bor to en­hance all sin­cere so­cial con­tacts and to fur­ther the so­cial evo­lu­tion of uni­verse crea­tures. These are the an­gels who seek to di­vest the as­so­ci­a­tions of in­tel­li­gent be­ings of all ar­ti­fi­cial­ity while en­deav­or­ing to fa­cil­i­tate the in­teras­so­ci­a­tion of will crea­tures on a ba­sis of real self-un­der­stand­ing and gen­uine mu­tual ap­pre­ci­a­tion.

39:3.5So­cial ar­chi­tects do ev­ery­thing within their prov­ince and power to bring to­gether suit­able in­di­vid­u­als that they may con­sti­tute ef­fi­cient and agree­able work­ing groups on earth; and some­times such groups have found them­selves re­as­so­ci­ated on the man­sion worlds for con­tin­ued fruit­ful ser­vice. But not al­ways do these ser­a­phim at­tain their ends; not al­ways are they able to bring to­gether those who would form the most ideal group to achieve a given pur­pose or to ac­com­plish a cer­tain task; un­der these con­di­tions they must uti­lize the best of the ma­te­rial avail­able.

39:3.6These an­gels con­tinue their min­istry on the man­sion and higher mor­ontia worlds. They are con­cerned with any un­der­tak­ing hav­ing to do with prog­ress on the mor­ontia worlds and which con­cerns three or more per­sons. Two be­ings are re­garded as op­er­at­ing on the mat­ing, com­ple­men­tal, or part­ner­ship ba­sis, but when three or more are grouped for ser­vice, they con­sti­tute a so­cial prob­lem and there­fore fall within the ju­ris­dic­tion of the so­cial ar­chi­tects. These ef­fi­cient ser­a­phim are or­ga­nized in sev­enty di­vi­sions on Eden­tia, and these di­vi­sions min­is­ter on the sev­enty mor­ontia prog­ress worlds en­cir­cling the head­quar­ters sphere.
