Over the past year, Bahá’ís and friends developed new capacities, steeled their resolve, linked arms with everyone they could, took a running jump and landed in the invigorating waters of the bicentenary of the birth of Bahá’u’lláh. Now they are exploring — with more and more companions — the ever-widening channels and uncharted tributaries before them.
I inherited a children’s class when the former teachers moved out of town. The target group was children under 4 years old and their parents or caregivers. It was advertised weekly via a local new-moms Facebook group, email and personal invitations to friends and neighbors. But often no one came. Essentially, it was the structure and skeleton of a children’s class — without the people.
A Los Angeles Bahá’í can confidently point out a commitment to applying the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh in “service to our fellow man” in Santa Monica and Los Angeles, ranging from a November 2017 forum on community policing to the day-to-day work of community building in neighborhoods.
