Maybe this is what we can
‘offer the world,’’ Enayat
Rawhani suggested during a re-
cenit -visit-to Terrace to meet
with local Baha'i.

Rawhani said instead of
fi ighting . each other through
debates ‘over their respective
rights, people should sit down
and talk without preconditions.

compromise.
Pointing out the goal of
Baha’i. was to act as ‘‘am-

also appreciated ‘‘the beauty of

tribution all minorities can

For that reason, parents should exercise cau-

“‘very. delicate”...

Other points to remember were fair-skinned i in. -

were using because not all were effective.
‘Generally, she says, lotions with a sun protection
factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. are recommended.

safer, getting a tan from a sun lamp exposes the

individual to the same ultraviolet rays emitted by
the sun itself and therefore to the same dangers.

made the Baha’i faith relevant
in today’s world. ;
sCohsistent: with ‘that
philosophy .was--the--belief-the
rights of all segments of society
— natives, . francophones,
minorities and women —
should be recognized.

Unfortunately, Canada's
parliamentary system meant the
nation’s leaders too often spent
their time asking ‘‘How
political can we make it, how
divisive can we make it?’’ As a
result, social issues were
transformed into political ones.

If the aim, however, was uni-
ty, ‘‘The everything is
possible,”’ Rawhani maintain-
ed. If people could truly regard
others as members of the same
human family, ‘we're halfway
there already."
