Dear Tim, The strategy being pursued in neighbourhoods that have been identified as receptive is somewhat different. We don't so much expect them to show up for our activities, rather we attempt to establish core activities in *their* neighbourhood rather than expecting them to come to ours. We establish children classes and junior youth empowerment groups, invite their parents to assist us and gradually begin moving towards devotional gatherings and study circles. Declarations occur whenever they occur in this process. warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-546408-27401.54f46e81b66496c9909bcdc2f7987...@list.jccc.edu 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]
