| CONTENT | Abstract: In recent years a more systematic approach to expansion and consolidation has emerged‚ driven by a capacity for learning through reflection on action. Such learning is central to social change. It may be understood as a response to Bahá’u’lláh’s injunction to “strive to translate that which hath been written into reality and action.” The presentation will examine this learning process‚ and consider its implications for greater coherence in Bahá’í activities‚ including administration‚ social and economic development‚ involvement with society‚ and scholarship. Also considered will be how learning unfolds in the context of infallible guidance and the role of learned individuals. [Abstract taken from conference program.] Version one: audio
