Education, Scholarship & Global Civilization – A Talk by Dr. Peter Khan
November 2, 2023, in Audio > Talks, by Sonjel VreelandThe Association for Baha’i Studies has a genuine online treasure trove of archived informative, engaging, uplifting and thoughtful talks on its YouTube channel. More recently, it has begun sharing different archival gems on Spotify, including this talk by Dr. Peter Khan, who was serving as a member of the Universal House of Justice at the time.
This talk covers, with Dr Khan’s customary sense of humour and gentle wisdom, the relevance of education and scholarship to the foundation of global civilization and it was presented at the 30th annual conference of the Association for Baha’i Studies (California, 2006).
Lastly, we shared a loving tribute to Dr Khan by Michael Day which explored the spiritual qualities of greatness.
