Baha'i community in Milton
The Baha'i community has existed in Milton for decades. Its life runs through members' homes: weekly character classes for kids and a teen program that meets through the school year. Baha'is organize and host everything, and all of it is open to everyone. Prayer gatherings and adult programs meet just over the line in Boston, and Milton families take part.
The Baha'i community in Milton is a circle open to all religions, all races, all peoples.
We believe humanity is one family and the work of our lives is to love and serve one another.
About the Baha'i Faith
The Baha'i Faith is the youngest of the world's independent religions. It teaches that there is one God, that the great religions are chapters in one unfolding story, and that humanity is one family learning to live as one.
Baha'is have no clergy. Local communities are led by a council elected each year by secret ballot, with no campaigning. There are around eight million Baha'is in nearly every country on earth.
