Episode Synopsis


In this episode we explore the recent message which the Universal House of Justice sent to the Baha'is in Iran on Naw Ruz (March 20th, 2024).  The message is not only important for the love and admiration which the Universal House of Justice showers on the Persian Bahá’i community, suffering under intense and relentless persecution, but also because in many ways, it represents the next chapter, building on its November 28, 2023 message - helping us navigate a path to universal peace.  The episode also explores the Universal House of Justice's message of January 18, 2019, which they reference here, exploring strategies for peace building and the promotion of the oneness of the human race.  Key referencesMar 20, 2024 Naw Ruz Message: https://payamha-iran.org/en/document/833Nov 28, 2023 Message: https://www.bahai.org/library/authoritative-texts/the-universal-house-of-justice/messages/20231128_001/1Jan 18, 2019 Message: https://www.bahai.org/library/authoritative-texts/the-universal-house-of-justice/messages/20190118_001/1CONTENTS:0:00 Introduction2:12 Love for Persian Baha’is7:55 State of the World12:40 Key Milestones for Peace19:44 Disintegration on the Rise24:07 A Crisis of Identity29:36 Agency & Peace Building34:11 Peace as Meta Narrative37:19 Closing Thoughts
