Forces of disintegration tend to sweep away barriers that block humanity’s progress, opening space for the process of integration to draw diverse groups together and disclosing new opportunities for cooperation and collaboration.

Come and see how we are stepping into these new opportunities and explore with us how we can further these steps.

The glass is half full!!

Please come and join the Baha’i Club at UW Milwuakee in celebrating
the Bicentennial of the Birth of Baha’u’llah on Friday October 20th!
It will be held from 6:30-9pm in Union 181, there will be activities

Love,

The Baha’i Club

BAHA’I WORLD CENTRE, 26 September 2017, (BWNS) – As the historic 200th
anniversary of the birth of Baha’u’llah next month approaches, the
Baha’i Media Bank has undergone a major update.

_______________________________________________

For nearly 11 years, the site has served as a reservoir of visual
resources for publishers, journalists, videographers, and students,
among others.

With over 1,600 photographs as well as maps and graphics, the site is
categorized under five main headings: activities of the Baha’i
community, administration and agencies, buildings and places, history,
and gatherings and conferences.

The site provides a glimpse into the diversity of the Baha’i community
and the breadth of its activities unfolding at the grassroots as well
as at the national and international levels. It also contains a number
of historical photographs.

The site content will be periodically updated and new photographs
added to the various collections. The Baha’i Media Bank can be found
at: http://media.bahai.org/.
