A similar talk at St Gabriel's School last year.

 A class of 28 pre-prep four and five year olds at  St Gabriel’s Independent Day School for Girls, Newbury, were treated to a lesson about the Bahá’í Faith recently, given to coincide with   Naw-Ruz – the Faith’s New Year’s Day.

Myra Erbenova, a member of the Bahá’í Faith in West Berkshire, said: “I talked about Bahá’ís being everywhere in the world and all of them celebrating the Bahá’í New Year on the first day of spring.
 
“Education is an important aspect of life within the Bahá’í Community and so I was pleased to be invited to St Gabriel’s School. As Bahá’í New Year is a time for gift giving, each child was given a small gift to join in the celebration.”

Exploring training in morals and good conduct for children

Published on by TVBahaiLeave a comment

Thames Valley Bahá’ís are to explore the words of Abdu’l-Baha about the education of children in their next ‘Time to Unwind’ prayer and meditation devotional evening on Wednesday 27 April.

Bahá’ís are taught, in the words of Abdu’l-Baha, that: “Training in morals and good conduct is far more important than book learning.. . . the child who conducts himself well, even though he be ignorant, is of benefit to others, while an ill-natured, ill-behaved child is corrupted and harmful to others, even though he be learned. If, however, the child be trained to be both learned and good, the result is light upon light.”

Bahá’ís and non-Bahá’ís alike are invited along to participate in the activity.
