Hugging
The pilgrim’s note reports the Master as saying: ‘Women and men must not embrace each other when not married, or not about to be married. They must not kiss each other If they wish to greet each other, or comfort each other, they may take each other by the hand.
- Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, p. 440-441
Quote of the Day
Istiqlal 14 Qawl 182 B.E.
It is my firm conviction which I now express with all sincerity and candor, that the dignity and unity of the Cause urgently demands -- particularly throughout the American continent -- that the friends should in their words and conduct emphasize and give absolute prominence to the constructive dynamic principles of Bahá’u’lláh, rather than attach undue importance to His negative Teachings.
