FROM THE TRAINING INSTITUTE

'Why join a study circle?'

With the growth in the number of enrolments, it has become apparent that such occasional courses of instruction, and the informal activities of community life, though important, are not sufficient as a means of human resource development, for they have resulted in only a small number of active supporters of the Cause…

'Systematic attention has to be given by Bahá'í Institutions to training a significant number of believers, and assisting them in serving the Cause, according to their God-given talents and capacities….'

'The House of Justice was particularly heartened to see that you intend to form study circles…as each study group advances through the sequence of courses , the capacity of each member to serve the Faith increases….'
