It’s a question of principle

Members of the Bahai Faith around the world. Reprinted by courtesy of Bahai International Community.

The Bahá’í Faith is the youngest of the world’s independent religions. Among the many Bahá’í principles are the following:

the unity of the races and elimination of prejudice, the equality of women and men, universal education, the elimination of extremes of wealth and poverty, a spiritual solution to economic problems, the harmony of science and religion, the independent investigation of truth, the creation of a world commonwealth of nations that will keep the peace through collective security.

Calling budding photographers . . . .

It’s time for all budding (or experienced) photographers to look at the world through their camera’s lens and send the results in to be published on the Thames Valley Baha’i Community website!

Thames Valley Baha’i Shawn Khorassani said: “Every time we post a photograph from within the Community, we experience a surge of interest and as a result more people are introduced to the Baha’i Faith and become interested in our activities.

“Photographs are a great way of keeping a website active and constantly changing, so we are asking all Baha’is to get their shutters (or indeed their digital cameras clicking) and send us in the results.”

The photographs should be taken of or at a Baha’i event and of or by someone within the Thames Valley Baha’i Community – please include basic details. You should have the permission of any person in your picture for it to be published. All contributions should be sent as attachments to susan@1bahai.org

Happy snapping!
