In this talk titled ‘Shaken, Divided, Separated: Reflections on the State of the World’ given by Colleen Dawes at the Justice Conference 2019, Colleen looks at the state of the world through the lens of Baha’u’llah’s Writings, and explores the idea that everything that is happening is a necessary part of the transformation of society.

Prior to her service at the Baha’i World Centre, she practiced law in Australia. She is interested in the intersection of technology and the Baha’i Faith and in 2009, established Baha’i eBooks Publications (www.bahaiebooks.org), where you can find more than 140 eBooks, including all the sacred Baha’i Writings, available for free download, with new titles being added each year.
