In this short animation, Baha’i Blog presents a description of devotional gatherings.
In diverse settings throughout the world, Baha’is and their friends unite with one another in prayer. Whether in urban settings or villages, these devotional gatherings consist largely of reading prayers and passages from the Baha’i sacred texts in an informal yet respectful atmosphere. A spirit of communal worship is generated by these simple gatherings and the spirit begins to permeate the community’s collective endeavours.
For more information on devotional gatherings contact the Baha’is in your area: www.bahai.org/national-communities

Interesting. In our community, in the west of Ireland, we include readings from all the major religions as well as the Baha’i writings
Hi Joe!
Thanks for your comment! That sounds like an inspiring devotional gathering! What I love about devotional gatherings is how incredibly different they can be from community to community, neighbourhood to neighbourhood, or even home to home!

I love it. It would be amazing to see that. That’s why our Houses of Worship are what they are. So glad to see you sharing with your community.
Devotional gathering is the fruit after the friends finish Book 1.
