You can arrange to hold a Summer School in any suitable
place where the friends can find accommodation, and a hall can be rented for
its sessions. This is what they have done in England for many years to great
advantage. It is a simple and economical way of holding the School. The primary
purpose of the School is to deepen the knowledge of the friends in the
Teachings, to enable them to consort, as Bahá’ís, with each other, and to
confirm any contacts who may have attended. The School may be held during the
winter season or any other time of the year.
