There are imperfections in every human being, and you will always become unhappy if you look toward the people themselves. But if you look toward God, you will love them and be kind to them, for the world of God is the world of perfection and complete mercy. Therefore, do not look at the shortcomings of anybody; see with the sight of forgiveness. The imperfect eye beholds imperfections. The eye that covers faults looks toward the Creator of souls. He created them, trains and provides for them, endows them with capacity and life, sight and hearing; therefore, they are the signs of His grandeur. You must love and be kind to everybody, care for the poor, protect the weak, heal the sick, teach and educate the ignorant. Abdu’l-Baha

Reminder - Big Ideas presentation Friday, Nov. 6, 7:30 pm The Baha’i Perspective on the Role of Women in Peacebuilding with Cheshmak Farhoumand-Sims ***Download the poster with the Zoom coordinates here:... https://www.facebook.com/ottawabahaicomm/publishing_tools/ http://www.bahai-ottawa.org//big_ideas_poster_nov_6_2020.p Despite growing international recognition of women’s effectiveness at promoting peace and increasing awareness of the disproportionate impact conflict has on women and girls, female representation in peace and security processes has lagged. Yet when women are at the negotiating table, peace is 35% more likely to last at least 15 years.

Please join the Capital Region Interfaith Council on Sunday afternoon for an interfaith service that includes a wide group of religious communities in the city. All welcome. To obtain the Zoom coordinates, please send us a message and we'll get back to you. Zoom links are not published on line for security reasons.

The quotation says: Bahá’u’lláh says that religion must be conducive to love and unity. If it proves to be the source of hatred and enmity, its absence is preferable; for the will and law of God is love, and love is the bond between human hearts. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

La citation dit : Vos âmes sont comme les vagues de la mer spirituelle ; bien que chacune d’elles soit indépendante des autres, il n’y a qu’un seul océan. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá
