Bob says his prayers

Published on by TVBahaiLeave a comment
‘Our friend Bob’ will start his third ‘Way of Mastery’  session in Newbury on Tuesday (18 October) with prayers from across the Faiths.
 
Bob started holding regular, monthly ‘Way of Mastery’ classes in the town following his pilot session at a Time to Unwind evening in June.
 
‘Way of Mastery’ is affectionately referred to as ‘The PathWay’. It is  based around the fact that: “Whatever our backgrounds, all of us share a common suffering, and a common longing.

“We are moved by the desire to grow, heal and know so that we can create and experience deeper fulfillment, peace, and contribution to others.”

Everyone is invited along to participate. For more details about these activities, please call the West Berkshire’s Bahá’í Community on 07964 676461 or email myra@khorassani.com

Academics unite

Forty three prominent academics of Christian, Hindu, Jewish, and Muslim backgrounds from 16 countries have joined the condemnation of Iran’s policy to bar young Baha’is and others from higher education.

In an unprecedented global initiative they signed an open letter, published on 10 October in The Daily Telegraph .

The letter condemns, in particular, recent attacks by the Iranian authorities on an informal educational initiative of the Baha’i community – known as the Baha’i Institute for Higher Education (BIHE).

It is at BIHE that Baha’i professors, debarred by the Iranian government from practicing their professions, voluntarily offer their services to teach young community members who are banned from higher education.
