Community Building

A collective effort, together with neighbours and friends, to build vibrant communities with a strong spiritual foundation.

In Bangladesh, as throughout the world, Bahá’ís are working with their neighbours, friends and co-workers to build communities in which both the spiritual and material dimensions of life are cared for. This effort is not limited to any one group — people of every faith, age and background can take part.

At the heart of this process are a few simple yet profound activities:

  • Devotional gatherings — where people come together to pray and reflect on sacred writings.
  • Children’s classes — nurturing qualities such as truthfulness, kindness and justice.
  • The junior youth spiritual empowerment programme — helping young people aged 12–15 develop their capacity for service.
  • Study circles — an educational process through which youth and adults build capacity for service.

These activities are part of an ongoing process of learning characterized by action, reflection, consultation and study. Learning from experience and sharing it with others is its essential spirit.
