The Day of the Covenant (November 26) had special significance for Bahá’ís everywhere. It was the festival which commemorated Bahá’u’lláh’s appointment of his eldest son ‘Abdu’l-Baha, as the Centre of his Covenant.

Bahá’ís observe 11 holy days each year which are commemorated with community gatherings for prayer, reflection, and fellowship. The Day of the Covenant was such a day. Learn more here: http://info.bahai.org/covenant-of-bahaullah.html

Thames Valley Bahá’í Cluster’s Area Teaching Committee has announced the date for its October 2011 cluster reflection meeting – this Sunday, 16 October.

The event, which is being hosted by Bahá’ís from Oxford, Abingdon and Cumnor, is to be held in Kennington Village Hall, Oxford.

Some of the duties of the Area Teaching Committee include:

  • Promoting the spread of short-term teaching projects
  • Learning about how the devotional character of neighbourhoods can be enhanced
  • Developing a culture of visits to each other’s homes for spiritual conversations
  • Collecting statistical information to help the Unitervisal House of Justice and the International Teaching Centre chart the progress of the cluster
