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.

Weekly Conversation
“Gather ye together with the utmost joy and fellowship and recite the verses revealed by the merciful Lord. By so doing the doors to true knowledge will be opened to your inner beings, and ye will then feel your souls endowed with steadfastness and your hearts filled with radiant joy.”
Those are the words Bahá’u’lláh used to describe the importance of sharing prayers and discussion of spiritual themes with one another. You’re welcome to stop in on Sunday afternoon for meaningful conversation about themes of spirirtual and practical importance. Selections from the Bahá’í writings are provided.
