To the American Bahá’í community

for the Feast of Kamál

Dearly loved Friends,

Earlier this year, we had the distinct pleasure of welcoming Mr. Paul Lample, member of the Universal House of Justice, to the Bahá’í House of Worship.

On the evening of May 20, before a large audience of the friends who had come from surrounding communities within a hundred-mile radius of the Temple, Mr. Lample presented a wide-ranging talk touching on the many and varied endeavors being undertaken throughout the world to fulfill the goals of the newly launched Five Year Plan, and lending historical context to our efforts, as this era’s generation of Bahá’ís, to play our unique part in furthering the growth and development of our unifying Faith.

We believed the talk so edifying we immediately sought to make it available to the entire community in audio form, and we continue to feel it will richly repay the time invested in listening to it through the link we have established on our member services website (at american.bahai.us). We therefore strongly encourage you to make a point of listening to the talk and afterwards joining with other members of your community in reflecting on Mr. Lample’s informed and stimulating observations and insights.
