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.
