I want to know what Baha'i children's and youth magazines there are available at the moment. I have found a number out out of date web sites and broken links. I know about "brilliant star" from America. I am not sure if the UK's dayspring is still around as the web site mentions 2004 and 2005. Does anyone know of any others that are currently available? I am interested in the English language magazines but if you know of others there may be people reading this forum who want to ... http://www.bahaindex.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=0&func=view&id=3198&catid=1 Lewis L.

They are: 1. Baha - Splendour - 21 March - 8 April 2. Jalal - Glory - 9 April - 27 April 3. Jamal - Beauty - 28 April - 16 May 4. 'Azamat - Grandeur - 17 May - 4 June 5.

Someone told me it came from a compilation found online. Our convention committee now wants to use this idea, but I can't find the listing. Does anyone know where I can find this compilation or list?... http://www.bahaindex.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=0&func=view&id=3195&catid=8 This is an area, in general, that has interested me. Music that we know is really Christian(Bach, Beethoven, Stevie Wonder),Islamic(???), Hindu(ragas)...I am not aware of a genre, idiom or expression that is Bahai music...yet! Perhaps it will become a development of the synthesis of Hip-Hop, 12 tone & Navajo chants.... http://www.bahaindex.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=0&func=view&id=3194&catid=8 Ciao Pauline The original postee (my own new word for the day!) has possibly un-threaded himself, but the topic is important, I think. What Andrew may have experienced is a danger to be wary of. To prescribe one's personal tastes as the teachings of the Faith is probably a mistake. Maybe a very sincere mistake, but a mistake all the same. Who is the one that has calibrated a 'spirituality meter' for anything? I am living in China at the moment, and find I am very moved by the music of the various ethnic... http://www.bahaindex.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=0&func=view&id=3193&catid=1 NEW LIFE AND A NEW LARA Ten weeks after I had come to the firmest and most realistic of decisions I had yet made regarding my future career—the decision to become a primary school teacher--the film Dr. Zhivago was released. During my pre-adult life(1963-1944), I had wanted to be a bricklayer, a fireman and a professional baseball player--in that order. My career as a primary school teacher also proved unrealistic and was short-lived, although it proved to be much more realistic than those other three... http://www.bahaindex.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=0&func=view&id=3192&catid=9 bahaindex wrote: This is called FireBoard and is not phpBB related.

This is the theme of Hamlet. If life's learning does not serve as the means to access the Beloved, the Most Merciful, this is the ruin of many great souls; this too is tragic. This is one of a multitude of themes in the Baha... http://www.bahaindex.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=0&func=view&id=3190&catid=8 Apologies for taking so long to respond to this post, Alex, but I just saw your post. I, too, use poetry as an indirect teaching aid--and a direct one. Here is a poem I posted at many Jane Austen sites(indirect teaching aid example #1):B) _____________ A SECULAR AND NARROW WORLD My mother-in-law, a woman in her late eighties, finds watching movies adapted from Jane Austen’s novels boring. The students in my English classes always preferred to study other authors when given the choice. Their attitud...
