Tuesday 5 July is an opportunity to attend an event in Abingdon to explore ways of preparing and reaching out to others for a crucially important advance in Interfaith relations.

The day – being held at St Ethelwold’s House, 30 East St Helen’s Street, Abingdon from 10.30am to 4pm – is about deepening our spiritual relationships to grow harmony and peace in the world.

Organiser Wanda Nash said: “Being in the presence of God, waiting and trusting, without the need to define God, and to experience God’s presence with us in stillness, is the most bonding and peace-making action we can take.”

Details: £10 suggested donation, ‘bring and share’ lunch, bookings in advance on 01235 555486 or ethelwoldhouse@btinternet.com

Myra’s school-time reminiscences

Published on by TVBahaiLeave a comment

Myra Erbenova, a member of the Bahá’í Faith in West Berkshire, tells this touching story about a boy who was in a lesson about the Bahá’í Faith she recently gave during ‘Celebrating RE Month’ : “One boy wanted to say a prayer to be protected from a ‘big wave’ so he made up his own prayer, which was very sweet.

“This was followed by a Bahá’í children’s prayer for protection: O God, guide me, protect me. Make of me a shining lamp and a brilliant star. This prayer was said by me with help from some of the children that already know this prayer – the ones that attend Bahá’í children classes.”
