Discussion Group: Service & the Baha'i Faith

This week's theme Service and the Baha'i Faith

A weekly discussion group exploring the Baha'i Faith. No commitment required and drop-ins always welcome. Each week we use short readings and questions to guide our conversation and explore the Baha'i understanding of a subject. Groups typically range from 4–8 people.

This week we'll explore the importance of service in the Baha'i Faith. For Baha'is, service to others and devotion to God are not two separate pursuits. True worship is to serve humanity and to minister to the needs of the people.

Baha'is understand themselves to be pursuing a twofold moral purpose: attending to their own spiritual and intellectual growth while contributing to the transformation of society. These two aims are inseparable, and the path of service is where both unfold at once.
