Re:
The write up of internet activity in the UK's Theosophical Journal, and the
description of the Reading Lodge ... applause, applause. At least we have
some people on our side!

>making core theosophical teachings available in electronic form, and
>among books being worked on for networked distribution are The Key to
>Theosophy, Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine (in its entirety).
