The Bahá'í youth must be taught how to teach the Cause of
God. Their knowledge of the fundamentals of the Faith must be deepened and the
standard of their education in science and literature enhanced. They must
become thoroughly familiar with the language used and the example set by
‘Abdu'l-Bahá in His public addresses throughout the West. They must also be
acquainted with those essential prerequisites of teaching as recorded in the
Holy Books and Tablets.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 9 June 1925 to the
Spiritual Assembly of the East; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, The
Importance of Deepening Our Knowledge and Understanding of the Faith)
