Abdu’l-Baha’s message from 100 years ago rang loud and clear in a BBC  broadcast recently celebrating the 100th anniversary of his visit to Great Britain.

Fidelma Meehan, a member of the National Spiritual Assembly for Bahá’ís in the UK, told Edward Stourton on Radio 4 about the significance of marking the visit’s centenary.

You can hear it on BBC iPlayer at:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b017lbd1/Sunday_27_11_2011/

The section about the Faith is five minutes into the programme.

She said on the programme that Abdu’l-Baha is seen as the perfect example of the Bahá’í teachings in word and action.

Fidelma, a Swindon Bahá’í, said that the Bahá’í religion embraces the idea that all religions are stages of one progressive faith: so celebrating the idea of unity – one faith, one religion.

Myra Erbenova goes back to school - talking about the Bahá’í Faith

West Berkshire Bahá’í  Myra Erbenova loves using innovative ways of bringing the Bahá’í Faith to life when she gives lessons at a local school.

This is how she recently brought to life the fact that Bahá’í s all over the world work towards unity and serving others:

“To illustrate this, I read a story about a duck  where the duck is contemplating what to do with her life. She finally decides to help the old ducks that are too weak to find their own food.”

Myra often gives talks at schools throughout West Berkshire. If you would like to know more about this or the Bahá’í Faith in general, please call the West Berkshire’s Bahá’í Community on 07964 676461 and leave a message.
