There just seems to be a bit more open discussion and commitment to it. Thanks for sharing the quote and Abdu'l-Baha citation.. I had not heard that.

I love the way that sentence reframes the whole dynamic. Unfortunately, the quotation comes from a talk given in 1911. (By 'Abdu'l-Baha, one of the Central Figures of the Baha'i Faith) Though we have made undoubted progress since then, it's sad that in some ways we're still discussing the same fundamental value judgments -- 97 years later!
