The Bahá’í Writings describe universal peace as ‘the supreme goal of all mankind’. And yet the world is in turmoil and the heart of every conscientious person burns with anguish. We long to create a better world for our children and grandchildren. A peaceful world, in which the ingenuity and resources devoted to armaments and conflict can be diverted instead to education, health and wellbeing.
Bahá’ís believe that the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh provide the framework for building that new world, based on the truth that we are one interconnected human family sharing one precious homeland.
The Bahá’í community of Windsor and Maidenhead is hosting a presentation open to all who are interested to learn more about how the Bahá’í teachings nurture a culture of peace and unity, of tolerance and amity, and across every society. All are welcome. For full details, please refer to the attached invitation. We hope that you can join us.
Bahá’ís in Maidenhead and across the Thames Valley are joining with others around the world to celebrate the 200th anniversary next month of the birth of the Báb, the Herald of the Bahá’í Faith.
What are the root causes of poverty and how do we address them? How can we tackle the ways in which income and opportunity are so unevenly spread, within nations and between nations? How do we move towards an economic system that serves the interests of all peoples? And what possible role can religion have in creating such a new model of community life?
The gatherings will open with a short devotional of prayers and readings followed by the showing of a film Light to the World commissioned for the bicentenary. The film tells the story of the life of Bahá’u’lláh and the impact of His teachings in transforming the lives of individuals and communities across the planet.
