FELLOWSHIP WEDNESDAY PROGRAM A Bahai Perspective: Unity in Diversity Wednesday, February 11; 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM Facilitator: Deborah McCarty Participants: Min. 10 Several Bahai concepts will be introduced in this course, including the equality of men and women, the equality of the races, and other types of prejudice. The concept of unity, which is the main message from the prophet Bahaullah, and what it means on a spiritual level, will be discussed. His teachings provide a simple formula to obtain and maintain unity. This can be applied first to family life and then to community life. Finally, learn how to approach others with a fresh eye.

UU at Home Tuesday, February 17; 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Facilitator: Marie Murton Participants: Min. 5 /Max. 30 Unitarian Universalism is a wonderful faith that we share.
