Emphasis on Serious Study 1983
In
this report to the Society in 1983 General Secretary, Elise Probert
identifies a trend toward serious study amongst the members. Several study
groups are clearly in progress around
The Lodges in
Membership stays about the same and the trend towards a lower
average age is still in evidence.
Study Groups for members are well attended. The Cardiff Lodge for
example, has studies the Three Fundamental Propositions of the Secret Doctrine
during the year and we are embarking on a study session of the Mahatma Letters
during this autumn and next year. The Colwyn Bay Lodge have
their regular study groups of members, forming a close co-operation towards a
better understanding of the Theosophical teachings.
Our public meetings are well attended on the whole and we have a
fair number of speakers from othersections as well as
from our own Lodges.
Contact with like minded groups and organizations is being
maintained (this started some years ago) and we have been invited to speak
about Theosphy while we in turn, invite a speaker
form different groups to talk about their particular philosophy at a members
meeting. At our public meetings we aim to give a wider knowledge of theosophy
and to help understand the theosophical teachings.
