The World Religion that Wasn`t

from: Theosophy In Canada by Ted G. Davy

. . . I believe that the men of every religion will see in the World-Religion the soul of their own faith; that it will not be a question of this faith and the other, this prophet and the other, but that in every faith the noblest, the most liberal spirits, those who have most of the divine consciousness, and therefore most love for their fellow men—that such in every faith will recognize in the world-religion all that is noblest and dearest in their own, and that each will feel that it is their own faith carried to the highest, and will recognize in it the glory and splendour of their own.              Annie Besant, lecture :“The Growth of a World Religion” in The Immediate Future

Annie Besant (1847-1933), President of the Theosophical Society (TS) from 1907 until her death, was one of the most popular professional lecturers of her generation. The above quotation is an extract from one of several talks she gave at London’s Queen’s Hall in the summer of 1911. The description she gave of the World Religion is impressive, and was no doubt eloquently expressed.  (To read more . . .)
