Resignation of Amritanadi

From Order Connection on Mon, 1 May, 2023 - 10:07

Dear Friends,

I am sorry  to announce the resignation of Amritanadi.

Amritanadi now lives in Cornwall. She wrote to me to say that  she has been considering her place in the Order for some time and over the last year it has become clear to her that she wishes to resign.

Amritanadi is now caring for her sister’s daughter. 

I publicly ordained Amritanadi...
