Dear friends,
I hope you are all well, and are enjoying the cooler fall temperatures. I'm looking forward to meeting again at my home on Wednesday, 10/1, when our topic will be the Role of the Individual in social transformation. Feel free to bring a prayer, reading, poem, story, art, etc to share, or just come and enjoy the fellowship. New friends are always welcome.
In addition to the above, interfaith "Prayers for America" will be hosted at the Baha'i Center, 30 W. Lockwood in Webster Groves, on Saturday, 10/11 at 1:00 PM. This will be a recurring gathering on the second Saturday of each month. All are welcome and invited to bring a prayer or passage to share if you'd like.
Every individual is a member of the human family and makes a contribution to the life of society, and each has been endowed with potentialities. The standards and behaviors of individuals shape their environment and, in turn, are molded by social structures and processes. What are some constructive ways that we, as individuals, can contribute to the transformation of society for the betterment of all? How do we develop a strong sense of purpose? In the turbulence of this age of transition, how do we remain focused hopeful as we do so? Looking forward to our conversation, as always!
Loving regards,
Nora
And the honor and distinction of the individual consist in this, that he among all the world’s multitudes should become a source of social good. Is any larger bounty conceivable than this, that an individual, looking within himself, should find that by the confirming grace of God he has become the cause of peace and well-being, of happiness and advantage to his fellow men? No, by the one true God, there is no greater bliss, no more complete delight.
