Faith & Community
Philadelphia Bahá'í Community
Helping each other mine our gems.
Over the past three years, I've served as part of the Philadelphia Bahá'í community in a few different ways: leading neighborhood children's classes built around qualities like love, justice, and radiance, assisting the Auxiliary Board in organizing spaces for young people to explore spirituality and purpose, and helping put together a bi-monthly bulletin that keeps people connected to what's happening. We treat our neighborhoods as core to who we are, supporting each other in discovering our particular talents and faculties, and working side by side to contribute them to the betterment of our communities.
Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom. Bahá'u'lláh, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh, CXXII
