Learning about Life

“Learning about Life” are meetings where friends gather to study materials that help everyone learn about what life is about and how we can develop ourselves, our children and each other.

These activities are supported by a sequence of courses that seek to build capacity for service by concentrating on the application of the spiritual insights gained through profound study of the Creative Word. Participants are exposed to a body of knowledge that fosters a set of related habits, attitudes and qualities and are assisted in sharpening certain skills and abilities needed to carry out acts of service in their communities. Discussions that revolve around the Creative Word, in the serious and uplifting atmosphere the we describe as a “study circle”, raise the level of consciousness about one’s duties to our community and create an awareness of the joy one derives from helping others. The spiritual context in which specific deeds are addressed endows them with significance. Confidence is patiently built as the friends engage in progressively more complex and demanding acts of service. Yet, above all, it is reliance on our Creator that sustains us in our endeavours.
