His work was distinct from that of most other members of the Society (exceptions included Bertram Kingsley in England) and both he and the then president of the Theosophical Society appear to have 'agreed to disagree' in an at first harmonious way.

 THE SITUATION OF THE GENERAL ANTHROPOSOPHICAL SOCIETY
We have not experienced the Anthroposophical Society as a community in which current problems are discussed openly and freely, knowledgeably treated and communicated to the interested public.
This means: the Society and the movement became one because Rudolf Steiner took over the direction of the Society and therewith united his karma with the Society's destiny.
Thus is indicated the importance and meaning of the differentiated structure of the general anthroposophical Society and the tasks which Rudolf Steiner intended for it.

 Lecture: The Relation of the Movement for Religious Renewal to the Anthroposophical Movement
I remarked further, that for the Anthroposophical Movement it is ultimately a case of seeing clearly and distinctly that we are living in an age when, simply through the world’s evolution, a number of spiritual truths, truths regarding the actual spiritual content of the world, can be found by men when they become spiritual researchers.
There is the Anthroposophical Movement, which attains its true aims when it adheres with intelligence and vigor to the meaning and purpose originally contained in it and is not led astray by any special fields of work that are bound to open up as time goes on.
For the Anthroposophical Society is not understood by one who belongs to it unless his attitude is that he can be a counsellor and helper of this religious Movement, but cannot directly immerse himself in it.

The General Anthroposophical Society (GAS) was re-founded at Christmas 1923 / New Year 1924 at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland.
The Society in the U.S. is the only “official” anthroposophical society recognized by the GAS within the U.S. and is one of more than 50 autonomous Anthroposophical Societies worldwide.

 Waldorf answers - The Anthroposophical Society
The present world-wide Anthroposophical Society was founded at Christmas 1923 on the basis of a former Anthroposophical Society which was founded earlier in 1912/13.
The new Anthroposophical Society differed from the former one in having, among other things, a School of Spiritual Science as a center for its activity, and partial commonality between the board of the Anthroposophical Society and the leadership of the School.
The Anthroposophical Society is in continuity with the Society founded in 1912.

Under the influence of this stream the Theosophical Society took on its eastern character, and the same influence was the inspiration for Sinnett’s "Esoteric Buddhism" and Blavatsky's "Secret Doctrine".
For instance, it is said that the Anthroposophical society is only a kind of development out of what is called the "Theosophical Society".
Although it is true that what we aim at within our Anthroposophical Society found its place for a time within the framework of the General Theosophical Society, yet our Anthroposophical Society must on no account be confused with the Theosophical Society.

Steiner calls for a "searching of conscience." He explains that in anthroposophic communities we can experience our first awakening to the spirit in our encounters with others, and he describes how the "reversed cultus" forms the foundation for a new community life.

 Crisis in Anthroposophy (1996)
At the Michaelmas Meeting of 1993, the former General Secretary of the Anthroposophical Society in America remarked that "everywhere in the periphery we find ourselves in existential crises, largely in matters of financial support." Here is an honest statement of the problem.
In my earlier days of anthroposophizing, I had the naive view that the cosmic intelligence (somehow connected with Michael, who was somehow connected with anthroposophy) was somehow to be brought down, via anthroposophy, to the world of history and society.
He bases this judgment on anthroposophical ideas concerning spiritual evolution, ideas which plainly categorize certain impulses and certain movements with the label "progressive" or "retarded." Because these categorizations spring from the revelations of Spiritual Beings (via Rudolf Steiner), it is presumably not possible to challenge them.

 Lecture: Awakening to Community I
Since this ethical impulse that has brought him into the Anthroposophical Society stirs him in his innermost holy of holies as it carries him to the eternal wellsprings of his soul life, it goes on to develop into a religious impulse.
The Society naturally has to reckon with this common element, which is so deeply rooted in its social life, as with one of the lasting conditions of its existence.
But when a number of anthroposophically thinking and feeling people were moved to apply their wills to the establishing of anthroposophical enterprises capable of full and vigorous life, they had to include those wills in the total human equipment needed for the job.

While the Society has no wish for the Court to engage in the kind of circus of hypotheses, interpretations and innuendoes that plaintiff is apparently eager to stage, it is profoundly interested that such "evidence" be seen in the light of the views of the entity best situated to put it in accurate perspective.
I find the arguments in the amicus brief presented by the Anthroposophical Society cogent and quite likely to prevail, if the court rules on the issue, which it may wisely avoid (and that is the core of the amicus argument).

 ANTHROPOSOPHY IN THE TIME OF NAZI GERMANY
Like the General Anthroposophical Society, institutions based on anthroposophy (such as Waldorf Schools, schools for the handicapped, hospitals, schools of Eurythmy, etc.), for the most part adopted a strategy of peaceful and passive resistance.
The re-establishment of the Society, as well as the creation of undercover successor organizations, is forbidden under threat of the penalties described in paragraph 4 of the above named decree.
Therefore, schools which are built out of the anthroposophical world view and led by anthroposophists mean danger to true German education, particularly through the relation of the anthroposophical communities to Dornach, the international center of anthroposophy, in which Jews also play an important role, or at any rate have played until the present.

Being anthroposophical is about the method by which we form cognitions - the nature of the processes by which we "erkennen".
From this we would have to assess what the later splitting processes (the breaking off of many of the national societies from the General Anthroposophical Society in the 1930's) meant to this living quality, and then what the reconfiguration in the 1950's and '60's meant as well.
In the groups, and especially in the branch and other meeting-forums of the formal Anthroposophical Society, life does not exist because we are constantly killing it.
