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 short video, produced by the Australian Baha’i Community, shares how efforts in the field of social and economic development comprise a spectrum of activities, and to a large extent, reflect the degree to which the process of community building set in motion by the Australian Baha’i community has taken root in various localities. These efforts seek to promote the social and material well-being of people of all walks of life, whatever their beliefs or background. They represent the efforts of individuals, groups, and Baha’i governing councils to apply spiritual principles the achievement of material and social progress.
