Thames Valley Bahá’ís discussed Marriage and Family Life at their recent ‘Time to Unwind’ prayer and meditation devotional evening on Wednesday 25 May in Newbury. 

Bahá’ís are taught, in the words of Abdu’l-Baha, that: “. . . marriage is the commitment of the two parties one to the other, and their mutual attachment of mind and heart.

“Each must, however, exercise the utmost care to become thoroughly acquainted with the character of the other, that the binding covenant between them may be a tie that will endure forever.

” Their purpose must be this: to become loving companions and comrades and at one with each other for time and eternity . .  .” (From Selections From the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha, Page 118: gr1)

A similar talk at St Gabriel's School last year.

 A class of 28 pre-prep four and five year olds at  St Gabriel’s Independent Day School for Girls, Newbury, were treated to a lesson about the Bahá’í Faith recently, given to coincide with   Naw-Ruz – the Faith’s New Year’s Day.

Myra Erbenova, a member of the Bahá’í Faith in West Berkshire, said: “I talked about Bahá’ís being everywhere in the world and all of them celebrating the Bahá’í New Year on the first day of spring.
 
“Education is an important aspect of life within the Bahá’í Community and so I was pleased to be invited to St Gabriel’s School. As Bahá’í New Year is a time for gift giving, each child was given a small gift to join in the celebration.”
