75th anniversary of the United Nations marked with new Bahá’í International Community statement

As the United Nations marks its 75th anniversary, the Bahá’í International Community (BIC) has released a statement, titled A Governance Befitting.  

The statement highlights the need for systems of global cooperation to be strengthened if humanity is to address the serious challenges of our time and seize the immense opportunities of the coming years for progress.  It also explores elements necessary for a movement toward enduring, universal peace.

Association for Bahá’í Studies UK launches new website

The Association for Bahá’í Studies UK has launched a new website.  It is hoped that the website will be a useful portal for information, resources, news, and to connect more individuals with the work of the ABS, particularly through special interest groups that are correlating Bahá’í teachings to discourses in society.

The website can be found at www.abs.bahai.org.uk.  The ABS Executive Committee can be contacted via the website or by email at abs@bahai.org.uk.
