- In its message of 28 November 2023 to the Bahá’ís of the world, the Universal House of Justice painted an enriching view of the first century of the Formative Age and provides a blueprint for advancing the unification of all of the peoples of the earth. From the striking statement, “That time has now come,” confidence and clarity can emerge about how to make a unique Bahá’í contribution to the eradication of racial prejudice and other social divisions that impede the progress of all of the people in the United States and around the world.
Drawing from recent guidance and examples of steps being taken in communities in the U.S., the session ultimately addresses a fundamental question: If a path to unity and justice is not yet visible in our community, does that mean this cannot exist, or might there be steps we can take to bring this vibrant pattern of unity in diversity to life in any setting?

I was 12 years old living in Mauritius when my older brother came home from a fireside telling our family of a new religion.. 10 years later I embraced the Faith in Motherwell, in Scotland!
Catching on this amazing presentation.. I missed it when it was on live!! So glad you make this accessible. Thank you
This was an excellent presentation! In particular, the way Ms. Lawson explains concepts as actionable, rather than mere intellectual discussion brings exceptional clarity to the subject.
Wonderful. Inspiring, important, practical, thought provoking and warrants listening to again. Thank you!
Love the response to the question about power. "Reconceptualize" more productive than redistribute.
I would like to get a copy of the slides presented, if possible. Thank you!
