Interesting. Happen to have any refrences re <<keeping people out of the T.S. because of their religious beliefs. >>?

One reason I ask is that a few days ago I was listening in on a talk given by Burnier, and she SEEMED like a rather wise, nice, normal sort of person, so ...
If you speak to her in person, that is the impression you get. Yet, she has used the TS President's ability to unilaterally and without explanation dissolve entire sections including Yugoslavia, Denmark, and Canada (there WAS an explanation for Canada, but it was such an incredibly minor technicality that it could have been fixed simply by changing the label given to its relationship with the Theosophical Society). She refuses to discuss the reasons with anybody, or even general reasons why she won't discuss them.

People who know her well are convinced that she had a good reason, and it was not because she did not like their personal beliefs. Many more would LIKE to believe that. But, with lack of evidence of any other motive, we are forced to suspect the worst.
