Reconciling Personal and Social Values

1982

Joint presentation Drs.Mahmoodi and van den Hoonard.

Dr. Hoda Mahmoodi begins this presentation: "The divorce between personal and social values in contemporary society is a fundamental obstacle to achieving human unity. This paper examines the causes and consequences of that separation and explores the possibility of the Baha'i position for rectifying this problem." She accounts for the first 12 minutes. The remaining 12 minutes are presented by Dr. van den Hoonard who explains that Baha'u'llah designated specific insitutions for the preservation of unity in the community.
