Yup the meeting invitation was quite so emblematic of the two long-term elements of TM, progressives as practitioners who in good faith would like to see it work out and then the more strict faith-based preservationists who want to test people against their faith. Inclusive v exclusive. The interesting thing is that evidently by this invitation and the usual 'fuck ewe' ending there has been no effective change of balance at the top about this. The hardline or strict preservationists seem still have a stronger hand than the progressives. The interesting thing is that there has not been a change of feeling about this at the top on the Bevan side. This is not new. -Buck
