Hi. Have you seen the new letter from the House of Justice? I'm thrilled about this change. I've been looking forward to the day when Naw-Rúz is set to the moment of the vernal equinox. And not just to the gregorian calendar. Which I believe could fluctuate on three days.
But I don't...
I was wondering if anyone knows how many bahá'í prayers have been translated into English, and is there any place online where I can read them all? I'm also interested to know how many prayers were revealed, but I guess that's a much more difficult question.
Over the next few months baha's celebrate the 100 year aniversary of Abdu'l-Baha's travel to the west. Does anyone know of a map that shows where he went? Similar to the one showing Baha'u'llah's travel http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XZId7ooD_UQ/S9Ujf08PNDI/AAAAAAAADN0/MSbaEnIDyio/s1600/7143.jpg
We are soon entering the time of year when bahá'ís around the world elect their spiritual assemblies, both local and national. Here in Iceland we have 6 local assemblies and, of course, one national. At every election we are reminded of the quote from Shoghi Effendi about the qualities we are to...
I've been very interested in the bahá'í calendar, i've been reading about it and trying to understand it. I never liked the western calendar that much, I thought it was confusing to have somtimes 29 and sometimes 31 days.
Anyway. So I started thinking, since the day starts at 18:00, how will...
Hi.
I'm editing an educational video about the Jewish faith. There is a girl getting her Bat Mitzvah and reading from the Torah. We were concerned that we edited it wrong, that she isn't reading the part that we show. Could someone check the clip and tell me if this is exceptable.

Hi.
Is there an automatic app out there that can hide the picture of Bahá'u'lláh from showing up on my browser. I have nothing against the picture being up on Wikipedia, but because of my religion, I'd like to refrain from seeing it myself.
I am editing a documentary about Islam. I noticed in one shot there is something written in arabic at the ceiling of a mosque in Australia. Can you tell me what it is. It reminded me of baha'i houses of worship. Is this common?
Hi.
I once stumbled upon a very long list of rules, guidelines, laws, commandments, what-you-want-to-call-it. Now I can't find it again. I remember reading that you should wear perfume and men should cut their hair short (i think).
Has anyone bookmarked a similar page? I'd be interested in...
Right, not what you'd expect in the bahá'í forum, Eurovision. Some of you might not even know what it is. It's basically a bunch of european countries singing and voting on who's the best.
And as a new Bahá'í knowing nothing about it a few months ago, I was very surpriced to see the shrine of...
Hi.
I've always been very interested in dreams. I started a dream journal and for a time I was able to control my dreams. I also tried to write down dreams form my youth and I noticed that they were mostly nightmares. I realized that I hadn't had a nightmare for a long time.
Two years later and...
There is a law where I live that each child should be registered under the mothers religion at birth. Sounds ok, right. Well, there are some people that debate that it is not.
To begin with, the mother and the father have nothing to say about this. The child is registered under the mothers...
I just wanted to point out this great application that I recommed to anyone interested in the Bahá'í faith. And at the same time wanted to ask for an alternative solution for mac users. It sais on the site that I can use VirtualPC, but I was also wondering if there was a web based app similar to...
