Baha’is believe in the power of prayer and you’ll find Baha’is and their friends, throughout the world, getting together to pray. This is often referred to as a ‘devotional gathering’ or ‘devotional meeting’, and they happen in diverse settings, whether in cities or villages.
It’s always so exciting when the Universal House of Justice releases a message, and the recent letter released to the Baha’is of the World on the occasion of the Day of the Covenant, 25 November, 2020, was of no exception.
A few of the members of my Baha’i community on the Gold Coast, Australia, put together a Study Guide to help us reflect and deepen our understanding of the letter, and so with their permission, I’m sharing it here in case you find it useful too.
Naysan is passionate about using the arts and media to explore the teachings of the Baha’i Faith. Back in 2011, Naysan started up the Baha’i Blog project, channeling his experiences in both media and technology companies to help create a hub for Baha’i-inspired content online.
