On Charles' First Baha'i Devotional: Responding to the inmost longing of every heart to commune with its Maker

Devotional Gatherings

Responding to the inmost longing of every heart to commune with its Maker, we carry out acts of collective worship in diverse settings, uniting with others in prayer, awakening spiritual susceptibilities, and shaping a pattern of life distinguished for its devotional character.   We hold these gatherings wherever convenient, such as in your home and mine, for Baha’u’llah has said: “Blessed is the spot, the house, the place, the city, and the heart… where mention of God has been made and his praise glorified.”

Charles was able to join us last night at our Thursday Baha'i devotional meeting, his first in our home. The spirit was high. He said on the way home that he has friends he would love to bring over in the future to partake of that spirit. Walter was not able to attend, but a painting of his magically appeared in keeping with the tradition of the use of the arts associated with the gathering. -gw
