Theos-Talk Archives (April 1998 Message tt00336)

 The International Theosophical Society, established in 1875 in NY, by
H.P.Blavatsky and H.S.Olcoot. The property in Adyar, Madras, India become
the International Headquarter since 1882.
 Today, TS is established in 60 coutries, with 32,000 members in all the
world.
 A "National Section" only make sense if the organization is
"International", and yours statements are the same in any country.
 Fraternally,
 FdF
