For a current interactive list of websites, please, see here; [1]

The following information is, to the best of our knowledge, true. Please note that many senior BKs do leave and have left the BKWSU. It appears that most of the original Western authors have now left, despite their works still being sold via the BKWSU as an advertisement to the organization. As such, it is not possible for us to keep an up to date awareness of which BK author is currently active as a BK or is now an ex-BK.
