Hugging
The pilgrim’s note reports the Master as saying: ‘Women and men must not embrace each other when not married, or not about to be married. They must not kiss each other If they wish to greet each other, or comfort each other, they may take each other by the hand.
- Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, p. 440-441
Quote of the Day
Kamal 18 Mulk 182 B.E.
. . . if we spontaneously desire to acknowledge we have been wrong in something and that we have some fault of character, and ask another person's forgiveness or pardon, we are quite free to do so. The Guardian wants to point out, however, that we are not obliged to do so. It rests entirely with the individual.
From a letter written by the Universal House of Justice to a National Spiritual Assembly – 19 March, 1973
