Buddhism has been spreading and changing for over two thousand years now. Someone in another thread mentioned "Modern Theravada" or "Original Buddhism", which seems to be a trend toward recognizing what the Buddha actually taught as opposed to just taking one of the current "schools" directly as they are.

I think the new approach is to go back to what the Buddha taught. It's to try and separate "Buddhism" from "the Buddha's Dharma/Dhamma" in an effort to actualize the true meaning of his teachings in an effective way.
