Resumen

Los escritos Bahá’ís prescriben la consulta en “todos los asuntos” y especifi can no solamente la forma amplia del proceso consultivo, sino las actitudes como condiciones
previas para aquellos que buscan consultar. Pero, que hay que hacer cuando estas condiciones están ausentes-cuando, por ejemplo, la gente no parece estar en capacidad o tener deseo de ni siquiera entenderse uno al otro? Un reto similar se presenta en discursos públicos, muchos de
los cuales parecen fundamentalmente no funcionales. En este artículo, examinamos la actual investigación para identificar los elementos de un proceso que puede facilitar
el entendimiento entre los que buscan dialogar. El  resultante “Diálogo Transformativo” que busca primariamente transformar las relaciones, puede potencialmente poner las bases para una verdadera consulta. Urgimos que el Diálogo Transformativo
es un modo distinto de diálogo que abarca una serie de reconocibles preceptos y procesos y por ende puede ser estudiado, sistemáticamente desarrollado dentro de
las comunidades locales, y aplicado a los problemas específicos dentro de las mismas comunidades.
