Dear Friends,
The discussion evening series at my home continues this Friday, 8 pm, with a discussion on the topic, “Living Spiritually in a Material World,” The topic will be presented by Carola.
Spirituality and material existence seem at odds with each other. How can we tread the spiritual path with practical feet in a material world? How can we have a spiritually and materially prosperous civilization and what may that look like?
Do you often wonder what you can do to make the world a better place?
What skills do you need to serve your community more effectively?
What are the roles of spiritual qualities such as justice, kindness, and unity in daily life?
What is prayer? What role does it play?
Do we have a spiritual purpose?
Explore these questions and many more in a study circle, formed by participants from any religion or background who meet regularly in an uplifting, spiritually empowering environment to help make the world a better place. You are invited to join us in studying Reflections on the Life of the Spirit, the first book in a sequence based on excerpts from the Bahá’í Writings, which empowers each of us to walk our own path of service.

Dear friends,
The fireside series at my home continues this Friday, 8 pm, with a discussion on the topic, ”Comparing methods of scientific and spiritual search for truth,” We will compare the methods of spiritual search with those of scientific search and explore how the goal/outcome of spiritual search oncludes at the point of indicating “inspired civilization” (not salvation as commonly thought). This topic is being repeated since not many friends attended last time despite an excellent presentation.
All are welcome, particularly seekers.
With love,
Nabil

Dear friends,
The next fireside will be this Saturday, 16th March, 5:30 pm pot-luck dinner + 7 pm talk (at Nita’s home instead of Nabil’s), with a discussion on the topic, “Comparing methods of scientific and spiritual search for truth.” We will compare the methods of spiritual search with those of scientific search and explore how the goal/outcome of spiritual search includes the point of indicating “inspired civilization” (not salvation as commonly thought).

Dear friends,
The next fireside will be this Saturday, 9th March, 5:30 pm pot-luck dinner + 7 pm talk, with a discussion on the topic, ”Conceptualizing oneness.” The oneness of mankind is the primary teaching of the Bahá’í Faith and we will examine the implications of this teaching in our lives and our society.

Dear friends,
The fireside series at my home continues this Saturday, 2 March, 5:30 pm pot-luck dinner + 7 pm talk, with a discussion on the topic, “Religion, A Cause of Unity or Disunity?” We will examine how religion has been a cause of disunity, but at the same time a powerful source of unity contributing to the progress of humanity and civilization.
The 2nd of March is the first day of the fast and I’ve decided to host the firesides on Saturdays during the fast in order to be able to host a pot-luck dinner before hand for those friends who would like to break the fast together as well for seekers who wish to join us. Sunset will be at 5:41 pm. Please let me know if you plan to join for dinner and what you can contribute. I’ll be hosting a following fireside on Saturday, 9th March with the one after that on Saturday, 16 March, at someone else’s home, but details to be confirmed.
All are welcome!
With love,
Nabil
Dear friends,
The fireside series at my home continues this Friday, 8 pm, with a discussion on the topic, “Is the question of God a matter of Truth?” The essence of the question is whether faith is based on blind belief or truth discovered from rational investigation. We will discuss questions surrounding the nature of God and whether it is possible to know Him and find truth in the claims of His Messengers.
All are welcome!
With love,
Nabil
