Community Life
Since the inception of the Bahá’í Faith in the Nineteenth Century, a growing number of people have found in the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh a compelling vision of a better world.
Oneness of Humanity
Bahá’ís are from all walks of life. Young and old, men and women, of diverse ethnicity from every nation around the world. They share a common goal of serving humanity and refining their inner-lives in accordance with the Teachings of Bahá’u’lláh. The community to which they belong is one of learning and action, free from any sense of superiority or claim to exclusive understanding of truth. It is a community that strives to cultivate hope for the future of humanity, to foster purposeful effort, and to celebrate the endeavours of all those in the world who work to promote unity and alleviate human suffering.
The Bahá’í community life involves a diverse range of activities which are characterised by a spirit of loving fellowship as well as their inclusiveness. Inspired by the belief that the message of the prophet-founder of the Bahá’í Faith, Bahá’u’lláh, is for all of humanity. Bahá’í community activities are open to everyone and you are welcome to participate regardless of your religious background.
Study Circles
In a study circle, participants study in depth some of the Bahá’í Writings to gain knowledge, spiritual insights and skills which enable them to engage in various acts of service. Reflections on the Life of the Spirit is the first in a sequence of books developed for this purpose. It focuses on our relationships with one another and God, and the journey of the soul.
Moral and Spiritual Education of Children
Children are the treasures of our community and through Bahá’í Children’s Classes they are nurtured to understand their spiritual nature, develop a world embracing vision of love and unity for all, and fostering their innate virtues and morals, in an environment of joy and encouragement.
Prayer and Devotional Gatherings
Devotional gatherings are regularly held in various localities, organised by families, youth, children and adults for the purpose of communal worship of God and spiritual upliftment. There are no rituals and all are welcome.
