It has nothing directly to do with the fundamentalist indoctrination process used by Ruhi.   Dear Mark,   This is how the term is used by Abdu'l-Baha in the Seven Candles of Unity: "The second candle is unity of thought in world undertakings, the consummation of which will erelong be witnessed"   That's seems to refer more to the UN reaching a consensus than Baha'is being "on the same page" even about the Covenant.   I just went back and looked at Baha'u'llah's Tablet of Unity. The phrase doesn't even occur there.   warmest, Susan               __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
