Who learns from whom?
Throughout International Convention, we have heard from delegates from every continent, from countries poor and rich. Any delegate who wishes to speak lines up at one of the microphones and takes his or her turn to speak to the theme of the consultation session or to say whatever is on their heart. One older lady, a delegate from one of the Pacific islands, spoke through a translator to bring the greetings of the Baha’is of her island to those gathered at the Convention.
The humbling and exciting thing for those of us from the wealthy countries is that much of the really useful learning comes from the Baha’i communities of the poorer countries. It is heartwarming to hear stories from Indonesia, Chad, Solomon Islands, Nicaragua, Zambia…
