Résumé
Une lettre écrite par Shoghi Effendi en 1922 implique une dynamique culturelle qui permet le « heurt des opinions diverses », souhaité mais éphémère, de la consultation bahá’íe. Premièrement, la lettre établit implicitement l’attente selon laquelle une série de désaccords apparents précédera vraisemblablement l’émergence d’une compréhension collective, et qu’il ne
s’agit pas d’un signe d’échec, bien au contraire. Deuxièmement, elle établit une culture qui accepte les erreurs, ce qui favorise la croissance et une large participation. Troisièmement, la prière à lire en début de réunion, qui était incluse dans la lettre, peut favoriser un état d’esprit et une motivation qui incitent les participants à réaliser une unité dans la diversité qui soit suffisamment forte pour contenir le tumulte éventuel d’opinions divergentes. Lorsqu’ils sont intériorisés et motivent les participants, ces éléments peuvent soutenir la capacité du groupe à surmonter le choc périlleux, mais efficace et transformateur, des opinions divergentes tout en protégeant l’unité du groupe.
