Education of children is another essential teaching of the Baha’i Faith. In urban and rural settings, in neighborhoods and villages around the world, children come together to learn about spiritual qualities such as honesty, generosity, selflessness, love, trustworthiness, forgiveness, patience, and purity of heart. In an open and joyful environment, children of all cultural and religious backgrounds explore how these qualities influence their own conduct and their wider society. The classes range in size from the children of a single family to those of an entire neighbourhood and village.
