AUBURN — Bahá’ís of Auburn are preparing to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of Bahá’u’lláh, the founder of the Bahá’í faith, Sunday, Nov. 5, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the home of Tim and Mary Gagnon, 12 Kennedy St. All are welcome.
Commemoration to begin at 2:30 p.m.
Bahá’u’lláh (1817-1892) was a spiritual teacher who announced in 1863 that he was the bearer of a new revelation from God. His teachings have spread around the world, forming the basis of a process of social transformation and community building unique in its global scope and the diversity of participants.
The Light of Unity Festival is a celebration of the transformative impact of Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings on the lives of families, neighborhoods and communities around the country and the world. Bahá’u’lláh’s vision of the oneness of humanity is an antidote to the racial prejudice and materialism corroding American society.
“Now more than ever we need positive models of social change that bring people together rather than divide them,” said Tim Gagnon. “This is what we will be celebrating in the months leading up to Bahá’u’lláh’s birth in October.”
The Light of Unity Festival is not an event but a series of activities generated at the grassroots level all around the country, reinforcing Bahá’u’lláh’s vision of the oneness of humanity and empowering participants to contribute. Activities will include drama, music, art exhibits, storytelling, service projects, prayer and devotional programs.
