THey can rely on the interpretations already made by the Guardian, Abdu'l Baha and the Sacred Writings of the Forerunner and the Prophet. Mostly they rely on the interpretations of SHoghi Effendi and Abdu'l Baha. Abdu'l Baha and Shoghi Effendi give good examples of preventing schism. Individual interpretation does not require correction unless and until someone tries to make that interpretation binding upon others.   Regards,   Scott __________________________________________________ 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
