Shrine of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá
Concrete bases for garden berms completed
The concrete bases that will support the two garden berms on either side of the central plaza for the Shrine of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá are now complete. The structural reinforcement and formwork for one of the walls enclosing the south plaza are also taking shape. Read more, and see photos, here >
National Convention 2021
Owing to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the present UK government guidelines, the National Assembly does not feel that National Convention, scheduled for 23-25 April 2021, can take place this year. Having studied guidance from the Universal House of Justice, the National Assembly has also decided that there will not be an online gathering of delegates at the time of National Convention, nor there will be any need for delegates to hold report-back meetings to their communities. The delegates have been informed that a postal election will be arranged in due course.
Service opportunity: IT Infrastructure Engineer
An opportunity has arisen at the National Ḥazíratu’l-Quds for a full-time, permanent IT Infrastructure Engineer. This role can be carried out from any location within the UK with good internet access. As usual, a salary is offered to enable the successful applicant to carry out this service but, as with all service to the Faith, there is also the opportunity to undertake it on a voluntary basis.
