Colquhoun incorrectly refers to the Order Lux in Tenebris ("Light in Darkness"); and Lux in Tenebris is quite another matter from Sacred Word.
Colquhoun to have written of the Sacred Word in such ignorance as her paragraph of concentrated errors and distortions seems to indicate.
Colquhoun had wished to contact the Sacred Word for first-hand information, she would not have had far to seek; for instance, the Order had an article in "The Aquarian Guide" published by Aquarian Press in 1970, and could have been contacted through the editor of that work.
