PART 5 IN SERIES Cherry-Picking: A Conversation

I seemed to surprise my atheist friend, Ari, by acknowledging that one of my “heroes of the evolution” is 20th-century atheist scholar Bertrand Russell. How could a Baha’i have such respect for an atheist?

The Birth of the Bab

This October marks the bicentenary of the birth of The Báb – a figure in the history of the Baha’i Faith whose message inaugurated a new stage in the development of mankind: a time of transformation marking humanity’s passage toward maturity. Playing a part in advancing
civilization is the spiritual heritage of every believer in the Cause of God.

To celebrate this special time, the Baha'is of Philomath invite you to participate in two gatherings. (Yes! You can attend either one, or both!)
