"It sounds like the start of a bad joke: A Jew, a Baptist and a Baha'i get together every Sunday morning ..."
NPR news article regarding one of the types of children's classes that Hubby and I teach facilitators how to do as well as host ourselves. This summer we plan to hold a couple week long summer sessions for children, pre-youth and youth. The pre-youth and youth classes, of course, are markedly different than the children's classes.
The Junior Youth series is designed to build reading, vocabulary, and problem solving skills. Future books for the series will include math and the sciences.
Youth classes use the RUHI course materials with the only difference being at their own pace (about two or three times faster than adult classes) and more music.
All of the classes are centered around strengthening communities. First the individual learns to strengthen themselves, then they learn how important their contribution to society is and how to develop tools within themselves to help communities be a better place to live for everyone.
Anyone interested in attending children, pre-youth, youth or adult classes can email the local Baha'i RUHI coordinators (serving Clatsop and Tillamook Counties). Classes are open to people of any religion or philosophy, send email to: bahaicoast at twowings dot net.
I am deliberately keeping this blog entry short. The NPR article does a very good job describing a Baha'i children's class and I encourage you to go there and either read it or listen to the news story about it.
