“How I became a Bahá’í in Indonesia” - Deborah, who grew up in a Christian family in a predominantly Muslim country, will share her heartfelt journey of discovering and connecting with the Bahá’í Faith. This intimate storytelling session aims to inspire questions and foster engaging discussions about her experiences and insights.
Children are the most precious treasure a community can possess and the moral and spiritual education of children assumes vital importance. The goal of spiritual education is to cultivate in children spiritual qualities such as love, forgiveness and justice, and to help them apply these qualities to their own lives and those around them.
Across Australia, growing numbers of Baha’i children’s classes are being conducted in neighbourhoods, at the community level, and in some State schools. The classes aim to help children to:
* acquire spiritual qualities such as love, truthfulness and generosity
* develop patterns of behaviour that lead to a fruitful and productive life
* become aware of God’s love for humanity and His unfailing assistance
Baha’i children’s classes are open to all children, subject to parental approval. All classes are taught by volunteer local teachers who are trained to conduct classes by training institutes. All teachers are accredited under the national Baha’i Child Safe Environments Policy, which includes compliance with the relevant working with children laws of Australia’s states and territories. The Australian Baha’i Community is committed to keeping children safe from harm/abuse.
Please register your interest if you would like to know more or participate in these classes.
