Sacred? SACRED? To use a term which in *today's* world dimisses half of the world's population by, in effect, calling them "brothers" when they are in fact sisters? It is *impossible to form a "brotherhood" ... "Without distinction of ... sex." In today's language the beginning of the first object is hardly "sacred" - it is plain nonsense which I and many others REJECT as expressing anything spiritual, and certainly not the spirit of theosophy. Are you willing to join a Society whose first object is to form a nucleus of the sisterhood of humanity? Or would that not be sacred?
