Gregg Dahl declares that “the subject tonight is women and peace”. He then relates peace to war. The Encyclopedia Britannica devotes sixty pages to war and no pages to the subject of peace. Over one hundred years ago ‘Abdu’l-Baha wrote, in The Secret of Divine Civilization: There is the well-known case of the ruler who is fostering peace and tranquility and at the same time devoting more energy than the warmongers to the accumulation of weapons and the building up of a larger army, on the grounds that peace and harmony can only be brought about by force.
The Bahá’í writings present far-reaching principles on the basis of which our economic and spiritual life will eventually be revolutionized. The practical application of these broad ideals must be worked out over a period of time by economists and other thinkers inspired by Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings. The immediate need is not for a fixed system but for the initiation of a process of experimentation and continual reevaluation through which a new economic system will gradually evolve.
