I was wondering if the prohibition on associating with covenant-breakers
includes people of all ages. If people reach maturity at 15 and decide to
become Baha'is then is it okay to associate with covenant-breakers who are less

Dear David,
I presume you mean the children of Covenant breakers? Baha'is are
asked to avoid them as well.

Dear David,
I can't imagine coming into contact with the toddlers of Covenant
breakers without coming into contact with the parents as well.

I should probably point out here that if we were to come across
Covenant breakers in any professional capacity we have an obligation
to deal with them just as we would anyone else. We wouldn't certainly
not shun a child, whatever their parentage in class we were

Dear Susan,
How about children, grandchildren, great grandchildren of covenant
breakers who have no claim related to the Faith? Some may consider
