Fireside
___________________
A meeting held in one's home for the purpose of teaching the Bahá'í Faith.
According to Shoghi Effendi, ‘The principle of the fireside meeting, which was established in order to permit and encourage the individual to teach in his own home, has been proven the most effective instrument for spreading the Faith.'9 '. . . The most effective method of teaching is the Fireside group, where new people can be shown Bahá'í hospitality, and ask all the questions which bother them. They can feel there the true Bahá'í spirit ‘10 Bahá'ís are encouraged to hold a fireside once every nineteen days.
[BD 83]
