Baha'is Believe....
All humanity is one family.
Women and men are equal.
All prejudice - racial, religious, national, or economic - is destructive and must be overcome.
- We must investigate truth for ourselves, without preconceptions.
The Eliot Baha'i Community meets for prayers, consultation, social time, child and youth education, and study circles. It annually elects a governing council with nine members, called the Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of Eliot. (The Bahá'í Faith has no clergy.)
A number of these activities welcome the public, including Study Circles, Devotional Meetings, Children's Classes, and Junior Youth Groups (ages 12-14), as well as introductory conversations, called Firesides.
The Eliot Bahá'í Community is distinct from Green Acre Baha'i School and Conference Center, which is a national Baha'i conference center, located in Eliot. The Eliot Baha'i Community meets in homes, and sometimes at Green Acre's Fellowship House.
Green Acre also has many events welcoming the public, in addition to courses designed primarily for Bahá'ís. Learn more about Green Acre here: www.greenacre.org
