Local Area Baha’is and Friends of the Faith observing a Baha’i Holiday in Sylvania Ohio
Members of the Baha’i Faith are actively involved in the promotion of the Common Good. On the international scale, The Baha’i International Community, The International Environmental Forum, Ethical Business Building the Future, and the Tahirih Justice Center are a few the organizations that Baha’is partner with to advance humanitarian causes of justice, social-economic development, environmental protection, and women’s rights.
“Therefore strive that your actions day by day may be beautiful prayers. Turn towards God, and seek always to do that which is right and noble. Enrich the poor, raise the fallen, comfort the sorrowful, bring healing to the sick, reassure the fearful, rescue the oppressed, bring hope to the hopeless, shelter the destitute! ….This is the work of a true Bahá'í, and this is what is expected of him.”
