Quest

Helping our children find meaning and purpose

Drawing on ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s insights in Some Answered Questions, this guide presents an innovative educational framework that bridges the natural and non-material realms. It addresses pressing concerns—materialism, isolation, ecological neglect and societal distrust—by showing how energy and spirit animate both physical forms and invisible dimensions. Teachers and parents are invited to cultivate curiosity, teaching children to ask meaningful questions and pursue truth through independent investigation.

Through clear examples and practical strategies, the book demonstrates how logical reasoning can harmonise with spiritual insight. It offers methods for nurturing children’s innate capacity to discern reality beyond sensory perception, fostering values of unity, compassion and purpose without imposing divisive doctrine. Readers learn how to contextualise religion as a source of ethical guidance, rather than mere belief systems, empowering the next generation to connect authentically with themselves, others and the world.
