200th ANNIVERSARY OF BIRTH OF THE BAB

Picture
The Báb – Herald of the Bahá’í FaithIn the middle of the 19th century—one of the most turbulent periods in the world’s history—a young merchant announced that He was the bearer of a message destined to transform the life of humanity. At a time when His country, Iran, was undergoing widespread moral breakdown, His message aroused excitement and hope among all classes, rapidly attracting thousands of followers. He took the name “The Báb”, meaning “the Gate” in Arabic.
With His call for spiritual and moral reformation, and His attention to improving the position of women and the lot of the poor, the Báb’s prescription for spiritual renewal was revolutionary. At the same time, He founded a distinct, independent religion of His own, inspiring His followers to transform their lives and carry out great acts of heroism.
The Báb announced that humanity stood at the threshold of a new era. His mission, which was to last only six years, was to prepare the way for the coming of a Manifestation of GodWho would usher in the age of peace and justice promised in all the world’s religions: Bahá’u’lláh.

CELEBRATION OF 200 EVENTS:
In honor of the 200th Anniversary of the Birth of the Bab, we are planning many community events that will involve every region of North Florida and hopefully reach all interested people in the region. These events will be planned for Individuals and groups, formal and informal, large and small with the goal of  helping to  celebrate teh Bab's and Baha’u’llah's  message of Unity of Mankind. 
Here are some of the events we are planning that will be of interest:

1. Devotions and InterFaith Prayer Vigil
2. Community Art Project
3. Time Capsule with History of Community Activities
4. Service Projects in Each Local Community

Our aim is for everyone to participate in at least one activity that reaches out to the community and friends to help deliver the message of Unity of the Baha'i faith.

As Community Group events are planned, they will be posted in the Calendar below as well as on Facebook. 

Viewed aright, this year presents the single greatest worldwide opportunity there has ever been for connecting hearts to Baha'u'llah
