Dear Steve, It is not a technicality. We all have different understandings of what infallibility means. What is perhaps more important is what function does it serve? According to 'Abdu'l-Baha that none may "raise the standard of revolt, wax stubborn and open wide the door of false interpretation [ijtihad]." This is precisely what happened in Alison's case. I don't think there can be any real polishing of the soul if one recognizes no authority apart from ones self. warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:[email protected] Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [email protected] Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[email protected] Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
