Love is the driving force for many people. And Thames Valley Baha’i Community members are to discuss the subject of love at their ‘Time to Unwind’ prayer and meditation devotional evening on Wednesday 1 December.

The community is opening up its heart to anyone who wants to either just learn a little about ‘what is Baha’i religion’ or become more involved in the group. The sessions are held on Wednesday evenings in Newbury.

Bahais are taught, in The Hidden Words of Bahá’u’lláh: “Thy Paradise is My love; thy heavenly home, reunion with Me. Enter therein and tarry not.”

Participants in the devotional evening on Wednesday 1 December will have the opportunity to talk about love and what it means to Bahais.

Thames Valley Bahai Community has welcomed a human rights report from UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, in which he expressed strong concern over Iran’s ongoing human rights violations, including its persecution of Iranian Baha’is.

Mr Ban strongly criticized Iran’s failure to protect the rights of minorities, such as the Baha’i, Sufi, Baluch and Kurdish communities.

West Berkshire Bahai Shawn Khorassani said: “Mr Ban has repeatedly expressed concern over Iran’s ongoing persecution of the Iranian Baha’i community, who are discriminated against solely because of their religious belief. Thames Valley Bahais are very appreciative of this support for Iranian Baha’is.”
