"Living the Spiritual Life"
(Jan. 1-Mar. 31, 2007)

TOPIC: The question of how to live one’s life has been asked by human beings since the beginning of time and is a central aspect of all religions. Bahá'u'lláh’s revelation, `Abdu'l-Bahá’s lengthy letters of advice, and Shoghi Effendi’s epistles describe the nature of God and reality, detail spiritual and moral principles, lay down laws of conduct, reveal prayers and spiritual practices, and encourage and admonish us how to live. The course will examine the spiritual life we are to strive to live and consider practical ways to live it.
