All in National Assembly
“Drawing on the wealth of experience and energy that has been generated, we now move forward towards further nurturing the community-building activities and responding to the warm receptivity we have found in our compatriots”, writes the National Spiritual Assembly.
This review of bicentenary celebrations and preview of continuing action is provided in a printable brochure format for sharing.
The National Spiritual Assembly wrote to the Universal House of Justice on November 6; “We are honoured to share the participation numbers for the bicentenary celebrations which have taken place in New Zealand.”
Anyone who held a bicentenary activity is urged to record information about it for inclusion in a report to be sent to the Bahá’í World Centre.
The passing of Mr ‘Alí Nakhjavání on 11 October 2019 drew forth glowing tributes to his life of service to humankind and his noble character.
A vital element in the preparation for each bicentenary activity, is how you will draw on the power of expression to share something about the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh, the Message They shared, and the community-building activities underway.
Friends are urged to offer at least one of the Báb’s prayers each day, that this country might soar to the greatest possible heights of achievement in our efforts to befittingly honour the Báb through advancing the Cause of God.
The National Spiritual Assembly highlights three key concepts — befittingly honouring the Báb, involving “the widest possible cross-section of society” in meaningful conversations, and inviting “a growing number of people to be involved in the process of community building”.
By seeing the complementary nature of different dimensions of life, such as school study and involvement in the institute process, we can live coherent lives and resolve apparent dilemmas with our time management.
Throughout the years many friends have settled in New Zealand as pioneers. Today, many friends are arising to fulfil goals of homefront pioneering. The National Spiritual Assembly shares its gratitude to all these friends, encourages others to consider this area of service, and offers a compilation of guidance as a resource for study.
“Between now and this festival spanning 29 and 30 October, the most befitting gift each of us can offer the Blessed Báb is widening the circle of those who will want to celebrate with us the greatness of this Day.” The National Assembly shares its loving encouragement in a letter and video message.
