In this talk, given at the Grand Canyon Baha'i Conference (Phoenix, USA) in December, 2016, Deborah Walters explores the microcosm of the human body and its local symptoms and the macrocosm of the individual in the collective of humanity and the world of nature.

In this talk titled "Imagine" by Fariborz Sahba given at the Grand Canyon Baha'i Conference (Phoenix, USA) in December, 2016, Fariborz Sahba explores the power of the imagination, of being visionary during times of difficulty, of spiritual distinction and beauty.

At only 28 years of age, he designed the Baha’i House of Worship in New Delhi, India (commonly called the Lotus Temple).

Imagine: A Talk by Fariborz Sahba

This is an audio recording of the 'Toward Prosperity: The Role of Women and Men in Building a Flourishing World Civilization' statement released by the Baha'i International Community (BIC).

This five-page statement was prepared as a contribution to the 61st United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. It includes these powerful words:
"Women and men are equal, and always have been." This document examines prosperity, as it relates to "the economic empowerment of women in the changing world of work" and the BIC states that "while the path towards prosperity has many obstacles, it is also paved with hope." 

With the recent release of this statement and the celebration of International Women's Day on March 8th, we wanted to help spread the word about this statement as it offers the leaders of the world a Baha'i perspective on a critical subject.

The Baha'i International Community represents the worldwide Baha'i community, in all its diversity, at the United Nations. The BIC has UN offices in New York City and Geneva, as well as regional offices in Addis Ababa, Brussels, and Jakarta.

'Toward Prosperity: The Role of Women and Men in Building a Flourishing World Civilization' can be read and downloaded here on the website of the BIC:
