Like A Magnet

August 11th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted in Bahai, Conference, Media, Music

The youth who attended the Florida Baha’i summer school, with the help of superstar Andy Grammer, created an original song centered around this quote:

“Faith is the magnet which draws the confirmation of the Merciful One. Service is the magnet which attracts the heavenly strength.” – ‘Abdu’l-Baha

The challenge was to create the whole thing from start to finish in 25 minutes(!)

July 31st, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted in Conference

Joany The Changing Times team is pleased to inform you that the venue for the 2009 Changing Times conference will be the fantastic Hotel Antares in Verona, Italy. You can find out more about the venue here.

Also we can now confirm the following will be among the presenters at this year’s conference:

Mr Siamak Hariri, the award-winning architect of the Bahá’í House of Worship for Santiago, Chile which is currently under fabrication.

Dr Albert Lincoln, Secretary-General of the Bahá’í International Community.

Mrs Joan Lincoln, pictured, member of the International Teaching Centre.

Ms Clare O’Brien, Oxford-based PhD candidate in Medical Sciences and football.

Dr Steven Phelps, Research Department of the Bahá’í World Centre where he has been translating the holy scriptures of the Bahá’í Faith. He is the author of several articles exploring science and religion and responding to the claims of the new atheists.

As you may know Changing Times is a non-for-profit event managed by individuals with very limited resources. Over the years we’ve had the support of an ever-expanding group of friends and volunteers who year after year help us make Changing Times happen.

Of course money is also an issue and that is why we would appreciate it if people considered supporting Changing Times financially. With your donations, we could, for example, sponsor individuals to participate at the conference who without financial assistance would be unable to attend.

Please contact us at office@changing-times.org and ask for our bank details.

We are very grateful for every bit of support.

EBBF Weekend in Acuto – Living Values

April 12th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Bahai, Conference

EBBF takes you on a weekend journey to help make you a pioneer.

“starting from the foundations of our values, getting to know them, increasing our awareness of them,
hearing the experiences of people who have released these values in their offices,
we will then work with them on solutions, ideas and guides that will help us make a meaningful difference in our work environment.”

Like-minded individuals with the same desire to find new ways to make our values work in organizations come together in the beautiful medieval town of Acuto, perched on the Italian hills in the Province of Rome.

Enjoy a weekend of Italian food, warm hospitality in the company of like-minded individuals who are also looking for ways to apply their values to become pioneers in creating a new holistic world order.
