    A Baha'i Mother Needs Some Advise

    I don't think you've failed too terribly, if both your children have a lively interest in religion! Count that a rare success. Perhaps you need to hook into the online Bahai community more, to get the stimulus and support you miss locally. Try Planet Bahai ww w. planet bahai. org and Bahai...

    What Abdul-Baha said on theology . . .

    I think you have passed from the resurrection of Christ, into eschatology, without noticing it. The question was about Bahai beliefs concerning the resurrection of Christ.

    I need a Christian and a Jew!!

    Quotes from Baha'i sources:

    sources Dear Arthra, I notice you mix authentic and unauthenticatable sources here. Abdu'l-Baha in London is a particularly easy case, because the whole book is pilgrims' notes, unauthenticated and impossible to authenticate because there are no Persian notes from these talks. Other sources...
