Bahá'ís
are actively engaged in developing
knowledge, skills, and spiritual
insights that enable them to act as
effective human resources and which are
vital to the integrated process of
personal and social transformation.
Presently, such collective learning
takes the form of study circles—a
local, collaborative, self-directed
learning process being undertaken by
Bahá’í communities around the world. All
are welcome in the classes, regardless
of their ideas or beliefs.
By
learning about our spiritual reality and
our individual role in the progress of
society, we can better understand our
purpose in life and the way to improve
our own lives and the lives of those
around us.
Participants in the courses learn, for
example, to teach values to children, to
engage in community service activities,
to assist and empower others to
independently investigate spiritual
truths, to learn how to competently
express one’s views, and to engage
oneself in serving the broader needs of
society for unity, justice, and equity.
Participants in study circles often
experience a new sense of direction in
life, better relationships with family
and friends, and a fruitful
re-evaluation of the
contribution one can make to the wider
community.
Study
circles are not restricted to Baha'is;
anyone may and is welcome to attend.
There are regular study circles held in
thousands of localities
and in every
country of the world.
