Susan,
I don't have the answer to that
question. Is it possible that he was calling upon the Baha'i
communities to rehabilitate western societies; when Baha'i communities in the
western societies seem to have the same problems as the surrounding areas?
If that is so, then he is calling upon Baha'i communities to do what Shoghi
Effendi called upon the American community to do in Advent of Divine
Justice. That is, first establish certain kinds of behavior in
your own communities; and then establish them in the larger
community.
Richard.

As Dr. Khan was speaking specifically of "western society" and

"spiritual and social rehabilitation"; he may have been
calling upon the
worldwide Baha'i community (which may be doing much
better in the four areas
he highlighted) to help the western
societies.
Dear Richard,
Hmmm. I think
that Baha'is in some areas of the world may be doing better than Western
Baha'is in the first three areas. However, I'm not sure if they are doing much
better than the communities which surround them either. First instance, the
divorce rate of Iranian Baha'is may be lower than American Baha'is but is it
lower than Iranians in general?
warmest, Susan
