About two weeks ago, I met a highly-educated, well-to-do couple in a social
event whose conversation I greatly enjoyed. Out of the blue they mentioned
they had been Baha'is (I had not given any indication about my religious
affiliation). While I was collecting my thoughts to say something
intelligent, the wife offered they were no longer Baha'is and if I knew
anything about the Baha'is. She proceeded to tell me that they became
Baha'i in a nearby community, had become very active, members of LSA, and
she gave me a short fireside. But a few years later, they learned that
women could not serve on the House and left the Faith. (I'm summarizing
and using my own words, but she conveyed all of this with great emotion.)
I don't want to open the never-ending discussion of "women on the House"
and 1902 Tablet, etc, etc. I have a very specific and narrow question
however: Is there anything from the World Centre since the publication of
their letter some 15 years ago that sheds more light on the subject or
attempts to deal with emotions and reactions generated as the result of
that ruling?
If so, I like to have a copy so I can share with these friends. Thanks in
advance.
