Raleigh BDS News & Snippets

Hi Friends,

This "What's New" page was created to keep you updated on any current news snippets or information I need to share with you, including providing you with access to copies of any recent newsletters sent out to the list. 

31 December 2005

Friends,

Two things:

1. The backorders for the English/Farsi one page calendars have been fulfilled. If you ordered one or more of these, they are now available. These calendars are quite nice with a picture of the Terrace Fountain at the Baha'i World Center in Haifa, Israel. I personally like them better than the flower on the English version and need to try to order more of them. Take a closer look here  as you may want to order one or more of these gems for yourself.

2. I do have about 13 of the one-page English wall calendars from the 2005 year left over. These calendars are actually 15-month calendars and go through the date of March of 2006. If you would like to have one, please see me at the Raleigh Bahai Center, and I will give one to you. Free of Charge.

And, to those of you celebrating the Gregorian New Year with family and friends, I wish you all the best and a safe and properous holiday.

" .... Shoghi Effendi hopes that you will exert all your effort to deepen your knowledge of the literature of the movement, until you become fully acquainted with its spirit and tenets. Unless you do obtain such a firm hold you will never be able to teach others and render real service to the promulgation of the Faith. Of special importance is the Book of the Íqán which explains the attitude of the Cause towards the prophets of God and their mission in the history of society. Besides this there is Some Answered Questions of the Master and the 'Dawn-Breakers' of Nabil. Every Bahá'í should master these books and be able to explain their contents to others. Besides their importance, they are interesting and most absorbing." (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, February 9, 1932) (Compilations, Lights of Guidance, p. 559)
