Mot du Secr�taire G�n�ral
Greetings!
 Lorsque j'ai quitt� mon coin de pays, � la fin de mars, pour me rendre � Dornach le printemps se pointait avec une chaleur abrupte qui encourageait le bourgeonnement des fleurs et ce de fa�on inattendue. En arrivant en Suisse, une autre vague printani�re - les arbres fruitiers �taient en fleurs - accueillait les participants venant de diff�rentes parties du monde aux r�unions pr�paratoires � l'Assembl�e G�n�rale Annuelle de la Soci�t� Anthroposophique Universelle. Plusieurs r�unions regroupaient le Comit� directeur, les responsables des sections et les Secr�taires g�n�raux ainsi que d'autres repr�sentants de pays. Ces rencontres se tenaient dans une atmosph�re de cordialit� et de travail intense. Ce fut aussi un moment pour partager la vie de la Soci�t� dans les diff�rents pays. Un fait � noter fut la fondation, en octobre dernier, de la Soci�t� anthroposophique en Inde. Les r�sultats du travail de Hans van Florenstein-Mulder se sont fait sentir dans plusieurs pays en Asie, surtout par le biais de l'agriculture biodynamique. Maintenant, il y a aussi des membres de l'�cole de science spirituelle qui se r�unissent en Inde et � Taiwan... Lisez plus

Letter from the General Secretary
Greetings!
When I left my home sweet home to travel to Dornach at the end of March, spring had just let us know it was coming; a burst of unforeseeable heat had coaxed the buds out of their winter slumber. And when I arrived in Switzerland I was greeted by another wave of spring - the fruit trees were in full blossom, as if to welcome the participants coming from around the globe to attend the preparatory gatherings for the General Anthroposophical Society's annual general meeting. A number of meetings had been scheduled bringing the Executive Committee together with Section Leaders, General Secretaries and other national representatives. These sessions took place in a spirit of cordiality despite the intensity of the work. And as always, these gatherings gave us the opportunity of hearing how the Society is alive in the various countries. One noteworthy event was the news of the founding of the Anthroposophical Society in India last October. Indeed, Hans van Florenstein-Mulder's work in the field of biodynamic farming has borne fruit in several Asian countries. And there are now members of the School for Spiritual Science in India and in Taiwan. Read full article

Dear members,
The Anthroposophical Society has been in existence for a hundred years, and Seija Zimmermann notes in her report that there are members in almost a hundred countries (as of now). The Anthroposophical Society became part of the 20th century, and it has also gone throughout the world. The fact that there are fewer than 50,000 members and membership remains at that level reminds us that the power of a culture is hardly to be found in quantity; it may instead be found in quality, in inner coherence. Every month, the reports in Anthroposophy Worldwide are an expression of this wish to bring the inner and outer worlds together, to allow reality to manifest. This month Japan is the dominant theme, and rightfully so since the springtime is not as beautiful in any other land.
With heartfelt greeting from the Goetheanum,
Wolfgang Held
