History and aims
In 1908 Annie Besant, then international president of the Theosophical Society,
and herself an activist of great social conscience, founded the Theosophical
Order of Service (TOS). Many members of the Society wanted to organize
various lines of service for the active promotion of the First Object of the
Society:
To form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of humanity without distinction
of race, creed, sex, caste or color.
TOS offers a framework in which
individuals may demonstrate practical and humanitarian actions in a
theosophical spirit, whether or not they are members of the
Theosophical Society.
The Theosophical Society
Most TOS members are also members of the Theosophical Society. We invite you
to become acquainted with the Society, especially to check out
"The Theosophical World View" which inspires TOS activities.
You can find this and other information at the web site of the American Section:
The Theosophical Society in America
Journal
The official journal of TOS is For the Love of Life, currently published two
times per year and mailed to members. Individual departments may publish their
own newsletters.
