TN Bahai School

I just got out of two incredible sessions. They both referred to books I want to read (God Passes By and Reflections of Growth), but can only read so many books at one time. Passes by is suggested reading for pilgrimage, so I'll read it first.

The first session was One Comon Faith by Michael Sours Rohani. He made a good point about how the winning the Cold War would bring about peace. How something that was economic and politacal would make way for peace. However we now realize that is not how. We are in a sea of change which makes way for a new opportunity. Through spirituality and religion we are trying to see how we can really change this predicament.

People are not seekin religion outside of their culture, are not seeking it on a global scale. It is time for all religious leaders to step up to the plage to talk about love and unity, not conflict. Bahai's believe that through a spirit of kindness and fellowship , we as a community can be the light that can illumine the whole world
