His Holiness Baha'u'llah has greatly strengthened the cause of women, and the rights and privileges of women is one of the greatest principles of 'Abdu'l-Baha. Rest ye assured! Ere long the days shall come when the men addressing the women, shall say: 'Blessed are ye! Blessed are ye! Verily ye are worthy of every gift. Verily ye deserve to adorn your heads with the crown of everlasting glory, because in sciences and arts, in virtues and perfections ye shall become equal to man, and as regards tenderness of heart and the abundance of mercy and sympathy ye are superior'.

We are delighted to announce that the first European Vision Conference was held in Acuto, Italy from October 14th to 17th 2004.  Over 55 participants, women and men from 18 countries, participated in this Conference, with some of the participants being friends of the Baha'is.

It all began with miss Piggy...

I was young, about 7 or 8. It all began with Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog. I was a goofy, cooky, wide – eyed little girl without much style or grace but a penchant for mimicry and voices.  I would entertain family with theatrical renditions of cartoon characters and imaginary friends. I liked dressing up and being other people or creatures – I loved making people laugh or listen.

Study circles are a feature of Baha'i communities worldwide. They involve self-directed training and learning in small groups. In the sparsely populated regions of the Northern Territory and Queensland, regular meetings had not seemed possible until ...

Holiday in Acuto, Italy?

A young wife sat on a sofa

A young wife sat on a sofa in Bukit Timah on a hot humid day, drinking iced tea and visiting with her Mother. As they talked about life, about marriage, about the responsibilities of life and the obligations of adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glance upon her daughter.
