" I think some people are more interested in a small group than others. It may be that in your area a devotional in a house does not work, but one cannot know that for certain until at least 4 or 5 people have tried it on a regular basis. "
Dear Janine, We don't have much choice where I live because we don't have a Baha'i Centre. But well-planned, larger devotional meetings seem to work better than dividing our resources between a bunch of smaller ones. And seekers that contact us through the media campaign usually prefer to go to a meeting hall than the home of someone they don't know. That isn't even safe in today's world. "The only public devotionals with big success are the tranquility zones in Swindon, UK. And that is because that spiritual dimension through music and the decoration of the room is added." That is exactly the kind of thing that needs to happen IMV and that usually can't be replicated in smaller meetings. 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
