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.
This is the audio version of an online presentation given by Dr. Vahid Saberi at the Shelter for all Mankind Conference, held across Queensland and Northern New South Wales, Australia, over the weekend of 11-12 of September, 2021.
Held in honour of Abdu’l-Baha, the Shelter for all Mankind Conference was aimed at helping its participants draw closer to the Beloved Master, to walk in His footsteps, and to consider the impact He had on those privileged to cross His path and the world at large. Participants were then encouraged to reflect on their own reality, and then draw up systematic plans of action relating to things like fostering the devotional character of their community, and opportunities to serve the neighbourhoods and communities we live in.
