Community building

Welcoming people to a devotional meeting in Tuvalu

The vision: 

To bring together 

men and women eager to improve material and spiritual conditions in their surroundings... [Souls who long] to shed the lethargy imposed on them by society and work alongside one another in their neighbourhoods...to begin a process of collective transformation.

How to achieve it? 

By 

[persisting] in efforts to learn the ways and methods of community building in [such] small [neighborhood] settings", utilizing the "[specific] activities that drive this process...—

• meetings that strengthen the devotional character of the community; 
• classes that nurture the tender hearts and minds of children; 
• groups that channel the surging energies of junior youth; [and] 
• circles of study, open to all, that enable people of varied backgrounds to advance on equal footing and explore the application of the [Baha'i] teachings to their individual and collective lives.
