Roadmap for a Moral Society: Wisdom in Deed and Word

In this November 6th, 2023 session, we continue discussing the concept of a roadmap for a moral society based on Baha’i teachings. Central to our conversation is the topic ‘Wisdom in Deed and in Word’. We explore the importance of exercising wisdom in actions and words, cautioning that despite knowing the truth, the application of truth is crucial and must always result in a positive outcome. A discerning discussion on the interpretation and application of religious texts in today’s society and its impact is touched upon, as well as the importance of independent investigation of the truth and the need for critical thinking. The session wraps up with a closing prayer, echoing the importance of divine assistance in achieving the goal of spreading Baha’i teachings among the masses.
