In another review, workers in adult education "found harmony between the concepts developed in the Ruhi Institute and adult education principles." A review in China and neighboring communities investigated practices of "religious citizenship" as a result of the Ruhi Institute. The Ruhi formula resulted in "nonhierarchical, self-initiated, self-organized small groups engaged in study, teaching, and action", which is transforming the broader Baháʼí culture to one of small group community building among natural networks of family and friends, a format that is politically viable in China and adaptable to space limits in Hong Kong.
