Bahái Community hosts the InterFaith Network of Calgary

The next meeting of the IFNC for this year will be hosted by Calgary's Bahái community on Thursday, May 28 2009 at 7:30pm. Please RSVP by May 22nd.

We have been invited to share in a Devotional gathering. The description of the event below has been provided by Ramin Bogzaran:

"The event we will be holding is what we call a Neighborhood Devotional Gathering. Bahái's around the world host regular devotional gatherings in homes and in some cases community centers to infuse our neighborhoods and homes with the benefits of prayer. We read together Bahá'í writings and other scriptures and focus on creating an environment of unity and harmony. Prayer is a central element in all religious traditions and these grass roots level gatherings stress its universal nature."

Calgary InterFaith Network of Calgary (IFNC) is an informal and grassroots group of Calgarians, belonging to several faith traditions, who have come together to promote goodwill and mutual understanding.

We believe that this objective is best achieved by interaction and dialogue among the followers of different faiths.

This belief is based on our conviction that while the general tendency is to highlight the differences among different faiths, a deeper study would reveal that we have more in common than is generally believed.

We hope that through these gatherings, we will encourage mutual respect and peace in our community.

We meet once a month to discuss questions related to our personal spirituality and religious practice.

The venues of the gatherings rotate among the places of worship.
