FROM THE TRAINING INSTITUTE

 

The Training Institute is delighted to share with you all news of the establishment of the following study circles in the month of October:

Causeway Cluster: 'Reflections on the Life of the Spirit', Course 1
Charles Dunning Cluster: 'Reflections on the Life of the Spirit', Course 1
Charles Dunning/Alder Grove: Clusters 'Arising to Serve', Course 2

To begin initial preparation of teachers of children's classes, a course was successfully held during September in Course 3, 'Teaching Children's Classes, Grade 1. At this writing, another weekend offering of this course is scheduled for the last weekend in October.

The Training Institute is extremely pleased to announce the opening of bookings for study circles in "The Twin Manifestations", Course 4 in the sequence. All those friends who have completed at least Courses 1 and 2 may apply for this exciting and wondrous course which offers a "thorough and systematic knowledge" of the lives of the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh and prepares one with skills to share this knowledge with others.

If you have not yet entered the sequence of courses offered by the Institute, or if you wish to arise to the summons of the Universal House of Justice to continue your advancement through the entire sequence, or indeed if you wish to have more information about the Training Institute programme, please contact the Study Circle Coordinator (details below).

Finally, some of you may wish to invite your enquirers to enter a study circle. To help you in this task, there is now available a brochure which you can give to your enquirers to introduce Study Circles to them, and invite them to join one. This brochure has been approved by the Training Institute for Northern Ireland, and can be posted to you, or alternatively emailed to you for printing out.
For more information, please contact the Study Circle Coordinator.
