david,
wonderful point.
i would offer that another type of knowledge, grannmar, rhetoric etc gives
clues.
:"
According to this
letter I should therefore have a special advantage in teaching the Faith.
i don't see that conclusion.
accordsing to the structure of the senstence, u are well versed in the variety
of things possibly au courant, and possibly relating to the Faith.
a possible defintion of "progressive" would be one that can be adduced from
as commet made by ruhhiyah kahnum--that the Guardian was always on the lookout
for new ideas, which ideas either conformed to the sense of the Writintgs, in
which case they were progressive, or didn;t..in which case they were fads, and
largely irrelvant to the progressx of civilisation.
:"Are we supposed to always correlate the Baha'i
teachings to these movements,"
all imho anyone can ofdfer is their personal solution to that question. for me
the answer is until we do, internallly, we don;t know if we are learning
something or talking abvout the dirt on the foot of a dead ant. from such an
analysis can come a wider number of ways in which the constructs of the Faith
are more "naturally" in our consciouysness, affecting t5he range of our chices
when we decide to speak.
