The Baha'i Faith
Community Gatherings
The CBRM Baha'i community hosts regular
Devotional Meetings, Holy Days, and Feasts
Baha’is believe that coming together as a
community to share the word of God through prayer and the holy
scriptures “is essential to the spiritual life of the community”.
Sharing devotions with members of all faith
communities is important for Baha’is, “guests should be warmly
greeted and be made to feel welcome. It is a good practice to assign
several greeters to welcome people, pass out programs, usher people
(if necessary), and to introduce guests and visitors to others.”
“Prayers and the Holy Writings read with clarity and reverence have
tremendous spiritual capacity”.
Baha’is believe that the arts offer wonderful
food for the soul and often incorporate music, poetry, artwork and
other forms of artistic expression into the devotional meetings.

use of the Baha'is in Cape Breton.
