I noticed there was some criticism not that long ago that has since been removed. The entry now sounds more like advertisement, and not at all like an objective description.

It does look a little like an advertistment. I would propose making it more objective and present the school in both a positive and critical light

So then there needs to be further investigation of this school and it's staff.

I agree that this article could use some work, but I don't know enough about this organization to be able to add anything. I looked at the source for the critisizm that was removed, and came to a rather different conclusion about it than what was previously stated in the article. It seems it was a dispute between this organization with another group due to a similarity between their names. That doesn't seem very important.

"All who desire to do so should be able to study the Mysteries, the true inner spiritual heritage of the West."

That's from the article, and sounds POV. If that's what the SOL believes, then that opinion should be clearly attributed to them. Also, if the article's going to state that the SOL believes that anyone who wants to should be able to study what they teach, then it might be worth noting that they turn away drug users (or so it says on their website), because that's a bit contradictory.--Brokenchairs 02:09, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Advertisement?

I disagree with your comment that this entry sounds like an advertisement. It sounds like a description of the school itself, it's history, and what it does. I've checked the entries for other esoteric schools/orders such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Builders of the Adytum, Aurum Solis, and Fraternity of the Inner Light and their entries are comparable.

The only staff of the SOL are Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki and her husband Michael.
