Subud Lewes came out as the top bidder of the former St. Anne’s School site in Lewes (UK, East Sussex County)  to repurpose the former school for community needs. A vigorous debate that attempted to portray the Subud organization in Britain and worldwide as a homophobic institution ended up with a decision by the County Council that there had been in fact a “robust bidding process which included consultation with the local community.”
