On the Wide Path: Accomodating one and all regardless of their pace

While at District Convention today I bought a bunch of prayer books of all different sizes. You never can have enough of them. I also bought Turning Point: Selected Messages of the Universal House of Justice and Supplemental Material 1996-2006, which provides me with the documents that have guided this historical period of the Faith’s advancement for my study. Here is an excerpt:

Not everyone learns or responds at the same rate but the path to Him is wide enough to accomodate one and all regardless of their pace. “The Cause of God has room for all” suggests that not only are divers peoples welcome but that individuals may be at different points in their understanding and acceptance of the Faith. Adopting such an attitude of openness and inclusion will help diminish the sharp line that believers have sometimes tended to draw between themselves and the public at large.
