Our Purpose

The purpose of this association shall be to further the tenets of the Bahá’í Faith, to invite those interested to investigate the Faith for themselves; to promote the unity of mankind; and to foster understanding, love and fellowship on this campus by sponsoring such things as lectures, information tables, service projects, discussions, informal gatherings, social activities and public meetings. This Association shall not endorse any partisan or political group on a campus level or otherwise.

Meetings

Unless otherwise specified on the calendar, the Bahá’í Association will meet every other Sunday at 4:00 PM in the Miller Learning Center, room 367 starting on January 11, 2009. 

Our meeting schedule generally holds to the following pattern, but is subject to change:

• Devotions and social activities, held on one Sunday each month. The devotions consist of readings, prayer, and music, and last about 25-35 minutes. After devotions, we will either do an introductory presentation on the Baha’i Faith for those interested in learning more, or answer questions on a variety of topics relevant to the Baha’i Faith. Occasionally we will invite a guest speaker to talk on specific subjects. Please see calendar for dates.
• Planning meetings are held on at least one Sunday of each month. See  calendar for planning meeting dates.
• Throughout the semester, we’ll try to hold one or two other special events.

Everyone is welcome at all meetings and events held by the Bahá’í Association, regardless of race, color, age, gender, class, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or religion. The meetings are independent of each other, so do not feel like you’ve “missed too much” to join in late in the semester. There’s always more to learn and discuss!
