I’ve always wondered when OSG opened its poor cousin Boston branch. According to this article, Like Son Like Father, 1979. If you want to know how much the leadership omitted from your class, this description provides a little more information about the San Francisco theater, leaders and why it shut down.
By the way, this article is not intentionally about cults. It outlines one man’s searching, joining and finding meaning and community. The author is born a Protestant, embarks on a journey as a young adult; connects with several different groups, some culty, some not. The Theater of All Possibilities (later “School”, Odyssey Study Group, “the Study”… now, who knows?) happens to be one of the culty groups. He finds his home in Judaism.
So, I’ve provided the link, for what it’s worth.
