To Jerry S. and others interested:

While HPB may seem to attack Christianity, iy has mostly seemd to
me that the main thrust of her objections were against
"Churchianity" and especially the Roman Catholic variety.  The
(as she saw it) _core_ teachings of Christianity were fine - it
was the twisting and abuse of them to which she objected, and
rightly so.  Personally, I do not agree that the debate is by any
means over, especially with the increase in religious s-called
"fundamentalism" among all the world religions.

Her at Bristol, UK, Lodge, we have an old poster which was once
used for local publicity, which reads:

"THERE IS ONLY ONE LIFE ENERGY shared in varying degrees of
consciousness by man and animal, vegetable and mineral, so THE
BROTHERHOOD OF HUMANITY is not an ideal to which we all aspire but
a fact in nature, which all must realize."
