7th IEF Lecture
The IEF webinar for June was on
“Start Living Now to Embrace the Next Economy”
with John Krochmalny who spoke on 27 June 2021. The recording should be available in due course.
Description:
To live and thrive in the next economy, new individual and collective paradigms need to be established. New definitions of what constitutes wealth and prosperity must be understood and applied. Because modeling a behavior needs to be taught to those potential adoptees, training is a necessary component of this transition. This presentation will focus on the need for change, what types of economic behaviors and training will be necessary for the future society, behaviors based upon spiritual values, and how this relates to the Baha’i Commonwealth.
