We now call upon all National Spiritual Assemblies to
formulate and implement plans designed to educate the friends everywhere in
their understanding of the significance of the Formative Age of our Faith. As
an aid to this programme we attach extracts from the writings of the beloved
Guardian on this general theme, and we suggest that these and similar excerpts
from the Writings be studied and expounded at the forthcoming Summer Schools,
at special sessions of Teaching Institutes, at conferences of the friends, and
indeed on any occasions which you may deem suitable.
