More than a hundred years after its founding, the Anthroposophical Society faces serious questions--some of an existential nature--regarding its purpose and tasks in the present day. On March 30, 2012, in the course of the Society's Annual General Meeting in Dornach, both Prokofieff and Selg gave lectures that addressed difficult issues related to the General Anthroposophical Society and its global headquarters, the Goetheanum in Switzerland. These lectures were met with a mixture of enthusiastic support and stern disapproval. They are reproduced here in full, with supplementary material to help broaden and deepen their themes, so that every interested individual can have access to them.
