Devotional Gatherings
- 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.
Van Gilmer’s remarks on unity were insightful and well spoken. I particularly like his explanation of the number 9 being the highest of the single digit numbers, rather than saying simply that it is the highest number, because it is less confusing. Calling attention to the many symbols and circles of inclusion in the Baha’i House of Worship ornamental structure was a good way to explain the symbolism of unity. Well done!
