Lmhem111, just to set the record straight, there has never been a linguistic split re: theosophy in Canada. The Canadian Section (named the Theosophical Society in Canada) internally suffered further breaks after its "excommunication" with Adyar. What we now have in Canada are a number of independent societies such as the Victoria T. S. in British Columbia, the Edmonton T. S. and the Calgary T. S. in Alberta and at least two, possibly three, ULT lodges in Ontario. These are in addition to the Canadian Federation and the former Canadian Section. I have personally witnessed much friendly rapport and collaboration taking place between the various TS groups in Canada. Lots of fellow theosophists of whatever stripe or slant are seriously working for brotherhood. Cordially yours, Lorraine Christensen henningc@quenet.com
