WHAT WE DO
In neighborhoods across Albuquerquerque, and the country, Baha’is and their friends are engaged in a community building process that cultivates love and translates it into action.
DEVOTIONAL GATHERINGS
In diverse settings, Bahá’ís and their friends and families unite with one another in prayer. There are no rituals; no one individual has any special role. Meetings consist largely of reading prayers and passages from the Bahá’í sacred texts in an informal yet respectful atmosphere. A spirit of communal worship is generated by these simple gatherings, and this spirit begins to permeate the community’s collective endeavours.
FIND ONE NEAR YOUCHILDREN’S CLASSES
The Bahá’í community at every level is highly sensitised to the need to respond to the spiritual aspirations of the young, and older youth are typically anxious to take responsibility for the development of those around them younger than themselves. Educational activities for children, then, are often among the first to multiply in a community.
START ONE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOODYOUTH
Youth have played a vital role in Bahá’í history. The Báb Himself declared His mission when He was but twenty-five years old and so many among the band of His followers were in the prime of their youth when they embraced His Revelation. During the ministries of Bahá’u’lláh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, young people were at the forefront of efforts to proclaim the message of the new Faith and to share its teachings with others. Following in the path that these and other extraordinary figures had opened, thousands of young Bahá’ís have arisen in each generation to respond to the call of Bahá’u’lláh to draw on the zeal and enthusiasm characteristic of the period of youth to make decisive contributions to the advancement of spiritual and material civilization.

Monthly Informational Discussion
Come to one of our monthly informational discussions about the Baha’i teachings and our community development process. People of all faiths and no faith are welcome. “Unity, in its Bahá’í expression, contains the essential concept of diversity, distinguishing it from uniformity. It is through love for all people, and by subordinating lesser loyalties to the best interests of humankind, that the unity of the world can be realized and the infinite expressions of human diversity find their highest fulfilment.” This gathering is informal, conversational and welcoming to all. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this gathering is held via Zoom. Please contact secretary@abqbahai.org for the link.

What else will rescue the world but the efforts of countless souls who each make the welfare of humanity their principal, their dominating concern?”
