The Bahá’ís of Canberra reflect the diversity of city and come from a wide variety of ethnic and other backgrounds. We are an open and welcoming community. Worship, service and friendship are central to our ways of being. We come together to workshop together in harmony. Based on the idea that all peoples derive their inspiration from the same heavenly source, we welcome people of all backgrounds, faiths or ages.
We work together to help bring about positive change in society: through children’s classes, youth spiritual empowerment programs, study groups which reflect on our purpose in life and how we can contribute to a better world and other activities, through fostering social and economic development and participating in constructive conversations for a better future. Our meetings are grounded in our spiritual development through prayer and meditation. We work to create a community characterised by love, acceptance, encouragement and mutual support.
We welcome the involvement and contribution of everyone who shares our vision of a world which is more connected with its Creator, more united, more harmonious and fair for all. More details of these activities can be found on the Activities page.
