Foibles of the Formative Age

1986

Mr. Morris Taylor, who is the owner of Talisman Enterprises, recalls a devoted pioneer who had a wonderful sense of humor and who intended to write a book whose title would be “Foibles of the Formative Age”. That lady died of cancer at the early age of 29. So Mr. Taylor dedicates this talk to her under the same title. He outlines seven categories of Bahá’í foibles he covers in this talk. They are 1. First Contact; 2. Great Expectations; 3. How We Are Perceived; 4. Adventures in Teaching; 5. Traditions; 6. Baha’I Humor; and 7. Consultation. He then tells many personal stories—mostly humours—that relate to each of these categories.
