The National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'í's of South Africa The First 50 Years - Video

Racial and religious harmony were certainly not priorities of the apartheid government. However, it was during South Africa's darkest days that the light of unity was kindled. In the summer of 1956, Baha'is from all over Southern Africa gathered to form an interracial Assembly that promoted the oneness of mankind and religion.

I'm just looking through the "best blogs on the web list" under "religion" - having just enrolled in that site - and it's great to see a Baha'i-inspired blog right up there with the best!

Also glad to see you're linking THEHEYDAY.COM which I have personal bias towards :-)

Here are the prized diamonds of South Africa mined from the hearts and souls of our spiritual brothers and sisters. May we all follow their example wherever we may be, whatever tests beset us.

About Me

Name: Dawn

Location: Mogale City, South Africa

Hi! I'm Dawn and I'm a Bahá'í. I belong to the Bahá'í community of Mogale City one of many local Bahá'í communities throughout South Africa (and the world). The word Bahá'í means follower of Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith and I have been a Bahá'í for 20+ years. My whole life revolves around Bahá'u'lláh so I want to tell you about Him and share with you this great gift mankind has been given but is mostly still unaware of.

My blog contains snippets of information and links to various aspects of the Bahá'í Faith and is offered in the hope that something in it will attract you and cause you to investigate Bahá'u'lláh's claim to be the Manifestation of God for this age and the Promised One of all ages. This is a challenging claim that everyone should investigate. How about it?
