Please allow Bishop Dr. Alan Baines to be a Theosophist.

Amen.

        When I read James's posting to Alan (before my holiday) I was surprised
to see the patronizing attitude expressed therein. That attitude is not
very Theosophical IMO. From what I remember,  Alan has expressed his wish
to stop or suspend communication with James, which I can understand.
May I suggest to James that it might be a blind spot in his attitude towards
others to patronize them for deviating from standard Theosophical teachings?
May I also submit that we can learn most from those who hold different opinions
than those that a surface reading of Theosophy seem to support?
