Beyond the Dome – A Film about the Baha’i House of Worship in Sydney, Australia

June 20, 2025, in Videos > Documentary, by

Beyond the Dome is a documentary shared by the Australian Baha’i Community about the Baha’i House of Worship in Sydney.

For more than 60 years, the Baha’i House of Worship (or Baha’i Temple) in Sydney has opened its doors to one and all, as a place of calm and stillness, a place of tranquility and reflection, and a place of connection and fellowship. Today, as the Baha’i Community embarks on works to beautify, enhance and restore the House of Worship for the years ahead, it provides everyone—regardless of background or belief—with the opportunity to reflect on what this place means to them.

The Australian Baha’i Community has also produced an animation on the significance of Baha’i Temples as well as a video sharing the story of Nettie Tobin and the importance of every contribution to Houses of Worship, no matter how humble.
