The Berkshire-Taconic Branch of the Anthroposophical Society website and the Chanticleer are the vehicles of communication for the Branch in its efforts to fulfill its mission (see the About page). The Branch is committed to fostering work out of the body of spiritual scientific knowledge brought to us by Rudolf Steiner in all fields of human activity, and to fostering spiritual scientific research. In this regard — as Steiner described in his letter to the members on January 13, 1924 — the Anthroposophical Society and its Branches are not social organizations in the usual sense. This means that the Branch website and Chanticleer are not intended to carry written materials from members and subscribers that are unrelated to the stated mission. However, submissions of articles, interviews, verses and reviews in support of this mission are gladly welcomed!
