  "reliability_note": "Peer-context scholarly chapter, read in full. It is the fullest scholarly treatment of Sheldrake's religious positioning: it places him inside the Woking (Lahore Ahmadiyya) mission milieu while documenting his drive to stand with mainstream Islam against the Ahmadiyya — but it names no school for him personally, and is cited so that both sides of that positioning stand in the person record.",
