"Before resigning in February 2001 - following his investigation of allegations of Sai Baba’s multi-faceted abuse - Timothy Conway Ph.D had been a respected member of the US Sathya Sai Baba movement (president of the large San Francisco center and a liaison-consultant for Northern California in the early to mid-1980s), as well as a longtime member of Santa Barbara, CA, Sai Center since 1988 (in addition to hosting the local Ammachi satsang and his own spiritual groups). Timothy’s key interest has been comparative East-West spiritual traditions, not just emphasizing intellectual expertise but concerned with actual living of the insights and precepts. An independent scholar with a background in psychology, Timothy is a respected lecturer and author of several outstandingly well-reviewed books (e.g., 'Women of Power And Grace'. There is a forthcoming two-volume 'India’s Sages' and other works)" Timothy Conway, Ph.D. 2005
