BAHÁ’Í UNITY CENTER
of DeKalb County (South), Georgia
The Full Story
About
The Bahá’í Unity Center was acquired in 1975. It is owned and operated by the Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of South DeKalb primarily as an institute for learning and developing community building skills through Study Circles based on the Ruhí Institute. All members of the community are invited to participate in this endeavor.
Mission
Bahá'ís believe that God periodically reveals his will through divine messengers, whose purpose is to transform the character of humankind and to develop, within those who respond, moral and spiritual qualities. Religion is thus seen as orderly, unified, and progressive from age to age. Within our local South DeKalb community, Bahá'ís use the Teachings of Bahá’u’lláh to strengthen and build a stronger community.
Vision
O friends! It behoveth you to refresh and revive your souls through the gracious favors which in this Divine, this soul-stirring Springtime are being showered upon you. The Day Star of His great glory hath shed its radiance upon you, and the clouds of His limitless grace have overshadowed you. How high the reward of him that hath not deprived himself of so great a bounty, nor failed to recognize the beauty of his Best-Beloved in this, His new attire. Watch over yourselves, for the Evil One is lying in wait, ready to entrap you. Gird yourselves against his wicked devices, and, led by the light of the name of the All-Seeing God, make your escape from the darkness that surroundeth you. Let your vision be world-embracing, rather than confined to your own self. The Evil One is he that hindereth the rise and obstructeth the spiritual progress of the children of men.
