The Local Spiritual Assembly and Equality

1989

The speaker asserts that the primary responsibility of the Local Spiritual assembly is establishing unity. This requires upholding the laws of The Faith and equality is included here. Assembly members must constantly deepen themselves in The Writings, to meet these mandates. She goes on to say that The Assembly must listen to community members and respond, even if this may bring about conflict. The Assembly's agenda should include room for discussing the education of children and budgeting equal resources for bringing about the equality of women. It is also of primary importance that the Assembly recognises the resource status of women and utilize these resources by drawing women into service. There is an open discussion of attendees, after the initial talk.
