October 8, 2021
The public is invited and encouraged to attend this important forum.
You are warmly invited to a gathering via zoom to share prayers for racial justice and healing. The deeply felt events of the past couple weeks have revealed to us all the work that lies ahead in striving for racial equality. Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith, wrote over 80 years ago that "the elimination of racial prejudice is America's most challenging issue". It is evident that that is still true today.
So, please join us in prayer, song, or poem from all cultures and faith traditions as we continue the struggle for racial justice.
