'''Charles Webster Leadbeater''' (* 17.2.1847/16.2.1854, + 29.2.1934 [[w:Adyar|Adyar]]), was one of the best known and most controversial members of the [[Adyar-TG]] and initiator of the [[w:Liberal Catholic Church|Liberal Catholic Church]]. According to current research, C. W. Leadbeater was born in [[w:Stockport|Stockport]] on 16 February 1854. He, however, gave his birthday as 17 February 1847.

When Leadbeater joined the [[Theosophical Society]] in 1883, he was still a priest of the [[w:Anglican Church|Anglican Church]]. The following year he met [[Helena Petrovna Blavatsky]] in [[w:London|London]]. Soon afterwards he also came into letter contact with his Master (via "Ernst" to K.H.). On 04.11.1884 he left England for [[w:Adyar|Adyar]]/[[w:India|India]] as [[Chela]] the "[[Master of Wisdom]]". His journey took him to [[w:Paris|Paris]], [[w:Marseille|Marseille]], [[w:Alexandria|Alexandria]], [[w:Port Said|Port Said]] and other places. On 21.12.1884 he arrived in Adyar, the headquarters of the Society, and took "refuge with the Buddha".

From 1895 he was intensively engaged in research on "Occult Chemistry" and "Esoteric Christianity". From 1886 to 1889 he lived mainly in [[w:Ceylon|Ceylon]]. Together with [[H. S. Olcott]] he travelled to many villages in order to fulfil his task of building up the Theosophical Society. Fundamental are his works on the colours of the [[aura]] and the [[chakra]]s.

Around the turn of the century, his "supporters", e.g. [[Annie Besant]], and his "enemies" (e.g. [[Katherine Tingley]]) began to form. The "Leadbeater scandal" became more and more widespread. He was accused of immoral sexual acts. He taught his students, among other things, personal hygiene (washing naked) as well as self-control and liberation from negative spiritual thoughts through masturbation. In lengthy court cases, all accusations were refuted, but the rumours persisted. After the court of honour proceedings of 1906 he resigned from the Theosophical Society, but already at the end of 1908 the gates of the Theosophical Society opened for him again.

Leadbeater arrived back in Adyar on 10.02.1909. Probably in May 1909 he discovered the 15-year-old [[Hindu]] boy [[Krishnamurti]] ("Alcyone" - The Brightest Star of the [[w:Pleiades|Pleiades]]). Due to school and private circumstances, Leadbeater took him into the care of the Theosophical Society. Early in 1910 he received an initiation by Leadbeater. He was to become the new "World Teacher" and was described as the [[Christ]] come again. Leadbeater prepared him for this great task. In 1913 [[Rudolf Steiner]] therefore finally separated from the Theosophical Society. In 1929 Krishnamurti dissolved his "Order of the Stars" and renounced the messiah role imposed on him.

On 20.02.1914 C. W. Leadbeater left India for [[w:New Zealand|New Zealand]] and [[w:Australia|Australia]]. In 1915 he was admitted to [[Freemasonry]]. In 1916 he joined the [[w:Old Catholic Church|Old Catholic Church]] and was ordained Regional Bishop of Australia. On 06.09.1918, the name of this religious community was changed to the [[w:Liberal Catholic Church|Liberal Catholic Church]].

In the spring of 1933 Leadbeater went to Adyar to stay by the side of Annie Besant, who was seriously ill, until her death on 20.09.1933. He conducted her funeral services.

In January of the following year, already seriously ill, he returned to Australia. On 29.02.1934 he fell into a coma and died in the afternoon.
