Location
A Recipe for Devotions" gathering held this Saturday, 9/27, from 1-3 PM at the Baha'i Center. All are welcome!
The history of devotional gatherings, based on the writings of Shoghi Effendi, will be briefly reviewed, as well as the characteristics of a devotional and the many ways someone might share a prayer with another soul. The significance of devotionals in the process of social transformation will be consulted on as well.
Those currently hosting devotionals will have time to share and reflect on their insights, as we all learn from each other in this important aspect of community building!
Loving regards,
Nora, Mitch, and Billie
"Beloved friends: Gatherings dedicated to prayer throughout your blessed land, in every neighbourhood, town, village, and hamlet, and the increasing access that your compatriots are gaining to Bahá’í prayers are enabling your community to shine the light of unity in the assemblage of humanity, lending a share to the endeavours of your fellow believers throughout the world. Plant, then, the seeds of future Mashriqu’l-Adhkárs for the benefit of all, and ignite countless beacons of light against the gloom of hatred and inequity."
