Education for Equality: The Role of Society’s Institutions

1988

Ms. Rochester explains that education for equality has to include mothers, fathers, teachers, and the Local Spiritual Assemblies. She summarizes the three most important needs of the Bahá'í Community. She briefly reviews the role of women in past religious dispensations and reminds us that there will be no peace in the world until the principle of the equality of women with men takes place. She advises that the finest Bahá'í teachers should be sought out for our children and that parents should have access to the same materials their children are studying so that they can be more helpful. Ms. Rochester places special emphasis in using materials the children produce in our Feasts and other activities so that they can see they are valued and are part of the community.
