"Both gentlemen support the process and understand its potential....and both are quite open to other materials.... they have just seen the success that this "process" can have and, therefore, encourage what is available and useful."
Dear James, I have heard Dr. Arbab make remarks to this effect, however I think it was Paul Lample who persuaded the NSA not to offer an alternative to Ruhi as they had originally tried to do and even developed the materials for. "This one has never seen on this list a condemnation of the Comprehensive Deepening Materials (US in the 70s), which were produced by NSA member Dan Jordan." Yeah, I think the difference is that people didn't feel that the Comprehensive Deepening Program was being imposed on them the same way Ruhi is. It was simply made available and the friends could take it or leave it. "Friends, while we are on the subject, Ruhi is about a PROCESS, not about specific MATERIALS. It is about developing human resources in a systematic manner." I think it would be more precise to say that Study Circles are about a Process. Ruhi represents certain materials designed to further that process. But I would agree with you that we should not suggest things that tarnish the reputation of faithful servants of the Cause. There is no reason to think anyone is promoting Ruhi for any other reason than they believe it would serve the best interests of the Faith. 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:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu 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
