National Online Memorial Meeting
Sunday 16 May, 7.30pm
A usual feature of National Convention is the reading of the Roll of Honour, remembering those believers from the United Kingdom, or others who had a close relationship with this community, who have passed away during the year.
In the absence of National Convention this year, the National Spiritual Assembly warmly invites all the friends to a National Online Memorial Meeting at which the Roll of Honour will be read and prayers will be said for the progress of their souls.
The meeting will take place on Zoom this Sunday, 16 May at 7.30pm.

Publication of In Memoriam booklet
The 176-177 B.E. edition of the In Memoriam booklet is now available. The booklet recounts the lives and services of devoted believers who have passed away in the past year. It can be accessed through an online reader here, on the UK Bahá’í Resources site, or downloaded as a PDF. A limited number of hard copies have been printed, which friends may request from nsa@bahai.org.uk.
ISGP Undergraduate Seminars 2021
Registration for the ISGP undergraduate seminars 2021 is now open. Subject to the anticipated easing of lockdown restrictions, it is hoped that the seminars will be held in person at Wellington College, Berkshire, 5-15 August 2021.
The total cost of participating in the seminar has now been confirmed, and will this year be £360. While every effort has been made to keep the price down, youth should not feel unable to apply because of the cost. Those who require financial assistance are encouraged to approach their Local Spiritual Assembly in the first instance. If further assistance is required, the coordinating team can be contacted via isgpuk@gmail.com, where further possibilities for raising the funds can be explored.
All those wishing to attend should register by 7 June via the following link: https://forms.gle/6YokrHDEdzUgx7Mp6
