Tom Price - The Role of Religion in Today's Society

Baha'i Blog sponsored their first event at the Baha'i Centre in Sydney, Australia which was a talk by Tom Price called "Following the Example of Abdu'l-Baha".

Abdu’l-Baha, (also referred to as the Master) was Baha’u’llah’s eldest son and appointed successor, and He is considered the perfect example of how to live according to the Bahá’í teachings. 

You can listen to 'Following the Example of Abdu'l-Baha' by either streaming it live from our site or by downloading it – and best of all, it’s completely free!

The song "Education is Not a Crime" was inspired by the #EducationisNotaCrime campaign, which aims to highlight educational discrimination in Iran aimed at the members of the Baha'i Faith. The song hopes to inspire individuals to take action. 

The song was written by Phoenix Baha'i Hip-Hop artist Colby Jeffers, and features Cameroonian singer Lucy Brand, and was produced by Cameroonian music producer D-Grey, so it was an international production! 

Colby aims to use music to inspire and uplift humanity, as well as educate and raise awareness on important social issues.

Dr. Janet Khan gives a talk on the extraordinary life and legacy of Bahiyyih Khanum, daughter of Baha'u'llah. Bahiyyih Khanum, the Greatest Holy Leaf, contributed significantly in the early years of the Faith. Her steadfastness during a critical period in the history of the religion and during her appointment as the head of the Baha'i Faith testifies to the greatness of her character. 

The Greatest Holy Leaf is a superb role model to men and women everywhere who seek creative ways to deal with the forces of today's society. 

This talk was filmed in the Gold Coast Baha'i Centre, Australia on July 2015.

Special thanks to the LSA of Gold Coast, Australia for organizing the presentation.
