“O
SON OF SPIRIT! My first counsel is this:
Possess a pure, kindly and radiant heart,
that thine may be
a sovereignty ancient, imperishable and everlasting.”
(Bahá’u’lláh, Arabic Hidden Words)
Community Events
Open to the Public
Multi-Faith Worship
Our community hosts devotional gatherings using programs
from the Desert Rose Bahá’í Institute of Arizona, USA. Dedicated to the acquisition of spiritual
virtues (e.g., truthfulness, generosity, justice, discernment), programs
consist of a series of readings from the sacred texts of the world’s major
religions. Participants read passages
in turn and music is played at select intervals. Socializing and potluck refreshments follow.
“Honesty, virtue, wisdom and a saintly character redound to the exaltation of man, while dishonesty, imposture, ignorance and hypocrisy lead to his abasement. By My life! Man's distinction lieth not in ornaments or wealth, but rather in virtuous behaviour and true understanding.” (Baha'u'llah: Tablets of Baha'u'llah, Page: 57)
The devotional gatherings provide
an opportunity for people of all backgrounds to worship and socialize in a
respectful and peaceful environment.
The structured programs provide a starting point from which to carry on
exploration of matters of spiritual importance with those of like mind and
heart.
Held at a private residence in Erickson, BC.
