Firesides are informal presentations and discussions about religion, society and the Bahá’í Faith. This is the first in a series of discussions entitled:
World Peace: A Tactical Approach
During this series we will examine how The Bahá’í Faith reaches beyond simply espousing a desire for world peace. Bahá’ís believe that we have been given a divine plan enumerating the essential aspects of social and personal advancement necessary for achieving world unity and peace.
In this series of three open discussions, each will focus on a specific aspect of the Bahá’í approach to carrying forward an ever-advancing civilization, realizing personal growth and establishing global peace and harmony.
The final topic in this series will be:
Oneness of Religions and
Freedom from Religious Exclusivity – Friday, April 24th
Prejudice in any form is a barrier to spiritual and cultural progress – religious prejudice is no exception. The teachings of the Bahá’í Faith themselves state: “If religion becomes the source of antagonism and strife, the absence of religion is to be preferred.” How can we change how we view other faiths? What exactly is the Bahá’í Faith’s take on other religions? Join us to discuss religious exclusivity and religious unity.
An Introduction to the Bahá’í Faith Fireside is held every Tuesday at 6:00 PM for those interested in learning more about the basic teachings, beliefs and history of the Bahá’í Faith. For more information about Tuesday Firesides, including a link to join them online, click here.
