I agree, if we put things that way. What I had in mind was not "an aspect of the Faith" but rather a different sense of the word altogether - what might more precisely be called "Baha'i society" rather than "the Baha'i Faith" per se. But this seems to be a question of definitions rather than substance. ---------- You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.jccc.net/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=bahai-st news://list.jccc.net/bahai-st http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist (public) http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (public)
