Dear Friends on the winews, academics, and highered listservers:
The Wilmette Institute's course on the development of the Baha'i
community in the context of the Five Year Plan has been undergoing a
lot of revising in the last week or so. The Universal House of
Justice's recent message about Baha'i elections has been added to it.
The very important annual message of the American National Spiritual
Assembly in its annual report (which apparently parallels some themes
in the Universal House of Justice's Ridvan message) has also inspired
the course planners to rethink parts of the course. For these reasons,
we are pushing the course's start date back to May 1.
The course now has the following study units:
1. Introduction
2. What is a Community, in general?
3. What is a Baha'i Community?
4. What is the Five Year Plan for Community Building?
5. What is the Role of the Institutions in Community Building?
6. Integration and Conclusion
As you can see, the course is meant to be a significant contribution
to the Five Year Plan; a chance to review the existing guidance from
the Baha'i World Center about community building and the roles of
Spiritual Assemblies in the process. Community building is a key idea
behind the core activities; they are meant to create something that is
attractive to inquirers (not just the core activities themselves, but
a networked, unified, and transformed community of believers). We hope
you can join us in the conversation about how to accomplish this goal.
The course price is $75 for most adults; $60 for students, pioneers,
and seniors; and $150 for groups (which can be as large as you wish).
