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.
The team at BahaiTeachings.org has produced two new dynamic panel discussions called “Humor in the Age of a Pandemic”.
Omid Djalili and Shahin Sobhani, along with host Liz Dwyer, the managing editor of Bahaiteachings.org, chat about life during the pandemic, the role humor can play in difficult times, and how Omid is finding new and creative aways to annoy his family while in isolation. Tara Ellis also shares a live musical performance at the end of the program.
