Theos-Talk Archives (September 2008 Message tt00269)

Martin, Katinka,

so far as I know, the position of corresponding secretary was vacant after Blavatsky's death in 1891.
For those who followed the mother society of New York the post was vacant for a septenary, until in 1898 Katherine Tingley assumed the post.

I would like to know, whether another person held this post during the last 100 or so years?

And so far as I know, both persons I know of who hold this post as CS were not elected to this post.

So Katinka should find a modus operandi to get this post.

Frank

:) 
Well, I think that my recent activities have done nothing to make
anyone near the center of TS power believe I'm ready - So I don't
think I'll have to face that temptation any time soon.

Anyhow, I think I'm more suited to the position of corresponding
secretary. Do you think they might reinstall that position just for
me? Not likely, is it? The American Section still has that office
though. Should I move to the USA just for that reason? [only partly
joking]
