June 18, 2023 will mark 40 years since 10 Baha’i women were hanged in Shiraz. Their only ‘crime’ was their refusal to renounce their beliefs in a faith that promotes the principles of gender equality, unity, justice, and truthfulness. This collection highlights Baha’i Blog content relating to the ongoing persecution of Baha’is in Iran.
Mr. Paul Lample delivers the keynote lecture ‘Reflections on the Challenge of Our Time’ for the Association for Baha’i Studies North America Conference 2021, held online this year.

Since 1976, the Association has been hosting an annual conference which brings together hundreds of individuals and groups from North America and beyond, across diverse professions and academic disciplines, to share insights, to study, and to plan for ongoing endeavors.
