Over the coming months, Baha’is across the United States will offer conferences and gatherings inspired by the recent letter from the National Spiritual Assembly, “The Destiny of America and the Nine-Year Plan.” (login required)
In it, they explain:
… further progress now requires us to join hands with many others. We who have access to that truth must now, in a genuine spirit of humility and respect, invite our brothers and sisters throughout this land to learn together how to apply it for our common salvation.
With this in mind, the Counselors and the National Spiritual Assembly are calling upon the Regional Bahá’í Councils to organize in the coming months a series of conferences patterned after the global conferences that launched the current Plan. In addition, they are being asked to organize special gatherings for youth. In the same spirit as the previous gatherings, these will be open to all and intended to widen the circle of those who are involved in the life of the Bahá’í community. In all of these, we will, inspired by the themes of this letter, center our thoughts on immediate action and what now needs to be done to fulfill the goals of the Nine-Year Plan.
Check back frequently to learn about gatherings planned in a nearby community or neighborhood. Or, if planning an event, look for inspirational ideas for youth gatherings and public relations.
