INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY A Progress Report

COALS

In February of last year it was reported to the Ameri- can Baha'i Community that eleven of the nineteen goals were completed, two were in progress and six still in a "searching" status. At this reporting we still have eight incomplete goals. However, in all but three cases, prop- erties have now been found and are in various stages of acquisition.

The National Spiritual Assembly of the Leeward, Windward and Virgin Islands, with three of the goals to fill itself, has now found its endowment property and has been verbally offered a beautiful property in St. Thomas adequate for both its Temple site and Haziratu'l-Quds.

The National Assembly of the Netherlands is negotiat- ing a right-of-way preparatory to the purchase of the Temple site near the Hague.

The National Spiritual Assembly of Norway has lo- cated a three-acre Temple site north of Oslo, and is now awaiting government approval of its evaluation for tax purposes, to enable consummation of the purchase.

The National Spiritual Assembly of Ghana had previ- ously reported completion of its Teaching Institute goal by the use of their Haziratu'l-Quds building in Accra for this purpose. They have recently acquired a new prop- erty in Cape Coast for this purpose and while this goal is

still considered complete, an additional $8,600 has been sent for re-modeling and improving the Cape Coast property.

Fifteen hundred dollars has been contributed to the National Spiritual Assembly of Congo-Brazzaville and Gabon for their Haziratu'l-Quds search, and they have been assured of additional funds as needed when they find a suitable property. We expect this goal to be achieved before the end of the year.

Efforts must now be concentrated on encouraging and assisting the National Spiritual Assemblies of Portugal and Venezuela to find and acquire Temple sites for Lis- bon and Caracas, respectively. One thousand dollars has been contributed to the Venezuelan National Spiri- tual Assembly to assist their search. Substantial further financial assistance will undoubtedly be required when a suitable property is found.

For final consummations of purchase of all the prop- erties indicated above, it is anticipated that the Ameri- can Baha'i Community will be called upon for an addi- tional $40,000 to $50,000 of assistance over the next six to twelve months.

Share Your Faith Baha'is of Peoria, Illinois were invited to do much of

the planning and carry out many details for a com- munity Inter-Faith Tea, an annual event, originally sponsored many years ago by the Anshai Emeth Temple Sisterhood.

When the planning committee met during the winter to discuss the program for the tea no one seemed to have any ideas about the type of program desired. The Baha'i representative on the committee spoke up and men- tioned that the Baha'is had a few weeks previously used a dramatic sketch a t their World Religion Day program which might be suitable for the Inter-Faith Tea, and described Dr. Allen Ward's "Seven Thousand Years in Retrospect." The response was enthusiastic and led to the Baha'is being selected to put on the production, prpvide readers and the music, for the main feature of the occasion. 9 More than 400 persons attended on Sunday afternoon ' of February 28, 1971 a t the Bergan High School, Peoria. There were displays arranged by six different religious organizations; Seventh Day Adventist, Universalist Uni- tarian, Anshai Emeth Temple, Bah6'i Faith, Mt. Zion Baptist and St. Philomena. The Bah6'i display, featur- ing "Lights of Unity" represented as candles and labeled with Baha'i principles, was the one chosen by the photographer for the local newspaper in the publicity which followed.

Enclosed within each program for the event was a form with blanks to be filled out by those who were interested in forming an Inter-Faith study group. As might be expected, Baha'is were more interested in such a study than others. This resulted in a letter by the clergyman who was local director of the branch .of the Council of Churches to all clergymen and educational leaders of Peoria giving the number of persons of each of the religions interested in study groups and announc- ing a six-weeks study course on "The Religions of Man" to be given a t Anshai Emeth Temple on six Sunday nights, beginning on April 18. The letter of announce- ment indicated that the approach to the study would be as a believer would view his own religion and further stated: "The very nature of this requires that several persons representing diverse faiths would choose to par- ticipate."

An additional result of the Inter-Faith Tea was that a retired school teacher (pre-Baha'i) noted the newspaper article and requested a slide of the Baha'i display to add to slides she already had of the Bahi ' i House of Worship at Wilmette and the gardens on Mount Carmel. When she called for the picture and wished more information, it

3 was found that she plans to use these slides in making a series of talks to church groups and other organizations. God does work in wonderful and mysterious ways!

~aha"is and the Mass Media The Faith was discussed on a question and answer

program of radio WAV of F t . Lauderdale, Florida re- cently. Jane Bellows was interviewed and presented points about the history of the Faith, teachings on edu- cation, marriage, etc. The questions came flooding in and as interest was high the station personnel requested an extension from the hour program; it lasted more than two hours.

San Leandro, California

San Leandro, California formed a new Local Spiritual Assembly a t Ridvan 1971. For ten years Yvonne Flint was the only Baha'i in the city. In ten months before Ridvan Baha'is grew in number large enough to form an Assembly, plus one youth. Several are young college students with vigor and enthusiasm so hopes are high for speedy growth, even to incorporation size by next year.

Assembly members are, Ru th Burrage, Gregory Murray. Standing, l e f t to ner , Beatrice Murray and Marian McKee.

4 AUGUST 1971

The Summer School Spirit By Waldo T. Boyd

There are many memories in the minds of those who have attended at least one session a t a Baha'i Summer School. The shrieks of surprise upon meeting one's friends unexpectedly; the stimulation of interesting and informative classes; the memories of swimming parties and picnic outings-these all last far beyond one all-too- soon-completed week. But ask anyone what he remem- bers most vividly about his stay at a Baha'i School, and almost always he'll answer, "Why, the spirit, of course! "

What is this ephemeral Summer School spirit that is felt so deeply, and from what does it arise?

In U.S.A., 1971, our homes are surrounded by neigh- bors in whose eyes we may range from queer mystical cultists to isolated paragons of civic virtue and brother- ly love. Our public school systems not only frown on religious instruction but expressly forbid it. Our places of gainful employment are profit and competition oriented. Our Parent-Teachers Associations, social clubs and town meetings are convened and conducted according to Robert's Rules of Order, not Bahh'u'llah's.

True, as Bah6'is we attend Feasts and, there, inter- mingle with our spiritual families. And we may attend other Baha'i gatherings during the year where we spend a few hours or a day together for the consideration of some worthy, sharply pinpointed purpose.

There is, however, at least one complete opportunity each year for trying our Baha'i wings: the Summer Schools. For a full week we face the challenge of rising for dawn prayers together, followed, perhaps, by the further challenge of waiting our turn for the limited bathroom facilities. Challenge? But yes! After all, do we graciously give ground? Do we perform our ablutions promptly or do we dally, forgetting momentarily those waiting their turn? And do we leave the fixtures cleaner than we found them?

And then breakfast together. Some eyes are still puffy with sleep; do we see the same radiance of Baha'i love

there as was evident the night before? On the serving line, do we demand a double grapefruit juice or com- plain because someone dawdles? At the tables, do we join with someone newly met or do we seek out our well- known friends from the home community?

After breakfast. the housecleaninn. What do we do now? It is pleasantly easy to find something terribly important to talk about off to one side while others do the community clean-up. Can it be that we haven't yet discovered the privilege of serving our fellow Baha'i's? Tests, tests, tests! And so subtle, so all-pervasive, so unexpectedly appropos! But before the week is out we feel the prick of conscience, and the last few days find us industriously trying to make up for lost time.

Community devotions. Classes. Workshops. Seminars. Library research. General assembly. So much going on that there is scarcely time to absorb it all before some- thing else is scheduled. Dinner over, spontaneous group meetings, games, or a lecture by an interesting visitor. Songs around a campfire. Prayer rounds. Joyful pilgrim and pioneer stories by the light of the stars. And then- oh, no! not already !-the bell for bedtime.

Family units. Dormitory beds. The buzz of reluctantly attenuated bits of conversation from wakeful, spiritual- ly stimulated youth. The clomp of someone's boots, the slam of a door just as we drop over the thin edge of sleep. At last-all quiet.

Shoghi Effendi expressed the hope that the schools ". . . may serve as a testing ground for the application of those ideals and standards that are the distinguishing features of the Revelation of Bahh'u'llah." Where in the whole wide world is there any other such opportunity for 7 Baha'i's to try in the fire of true community life our Teachings on living the life?

Where else can we find relief from the tensions of competitive strife, from the national, racial and reli- gious animosities with which the world assails us? Where else can we express so completely in a community

setting the standards of moral conduct, the chaste and holy life which was ~ r o m u l ~ a t e d by the One to Whom we turn for guidance? -

- 'p And, as Shoghi Effendi reminds us, ". . . the mainte-

nance of such a high standard of moral conduct is not to be associated or confused with any form of asceticism, or of excessive and bigoted puritanism. The standard inculcated by Baha'u'llah seeks, under no circum- stances, to deny anyone the legitimate right and privi- lege to derive the fullest advantage and benefit from the manifold joys, beauties, and pleasures with which the world has been so plentifully enriched by an All-Loving Creator."

And yet there is more-and more-and yet more. Many dedicated Baha'i 's are working long evening

and weekend hours in committees, preparing educa- tional programs for this year's Summer Schools. Through their loving, prayer-assisted labors the schools are growing, just as Shoghi Effendi expressed hopefully, into ". . . well-established organizations that will train innumerable young men and women to go out into the world and spread the message of Baha'u'llah." By their efforts the schools are meeting the challenge of a greatly increased population of education-seeking Baha'i's.

Attending a Baha'i School is most certainly not to be compared to watching a television soap-opera, wherein .once you have taken in the first episode or two you can be reasonably certain that the rest will be a facsimile thereof. Each year's student body not only derives its

individual and collective benefits but contributes to the growth of the following year's curriculum. Each session is unique.

Our beloved Guardian reminded us that "The world is undoubtedlv facing a areat crisis and the social. eco- nomic andVpoliticai conditions are becoming daily'more complex. Should the friends desire to take the lead in informing the world, they should start by educating themselves and understand what the troubles and prob- lems really are which baffle the minds of men. . . ."

Nor is spiritual deepening overlooked by those hard- working school committees. They seek to bring together in an atmosphere of devotion and reverence those indi- viduals who inspire others to study, and those who desire to grow and develop an ever-deepening spiritual aware- ness.

About Summer School, Shoghi said, "And everyone without exception is urged to take advantage of attending -let him consider such an occasion as a welcome and precious opportunity so to enrich, through lectures, study, and discussion, his knowledge of the fundamentals of his Faith as to be able to transmit, with greater con- fidence and effectiveness, the Message that has been entrusted to his care. . . ."

The Spirit present at Summer School cannot be re- duced to mere words. But it is there, in the degree that we gather in expression of our highest ideals. We know you will feel it this year when you attend the Summer School of your choice.

Race Unity Day Celebrations Race Unity Day in Tacoma, Washington, was observed

as a special teaching effort in a particular neighborhood /h of the city where we recently enrolled an elderly Negro

couple. They heard of the Faith in late March 1971 through their grandson who is stationed in Vietnam in the army. He told them of the wonderful thing he had found and wanted them to have it also but they would have to find it for themselves. He asked them to look up the Baha'i Faith in Tacoma. They did and three weeks later they were both Baha'is.

It was decided to acquaint their neighborhood with the Faith and a special invitation was delivered to each of the fifty-one homes. A block party was planned with food, entertainment and a talk. Because it rained all forty- three attending met in the living room of our new Baha'i friends, thus making for very close fellowship. There were two declarations out of the eight pre-Baha'is attend- ing. This was a new type of teaching venture for this community and we expect to continue our efforts in the neighborhood.

Honors for Matthew Bullock Matthew W. Bullock received an Honorary Doctorate

in Law on June 13, 1971, awarded a t Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. He was given a standing ovation.

In presenting him for the award i t was stated that he is a Baha'i and had served the Faith in many capacities. Mr. Bullock is now ninety years of age. He has served as a member of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bah6'is of the United States. He was a member of the Spiritual Assembly of Boston for many years. He pio- neered in the South and in Curacao and in Haiti. He went on Pilgrimage to Haifa during the lifetime of the Guardian.

He was sent out by the U.S. Government through the Pacific area during the Second World War to see the conditions under which the black soldiers were serving. He was formerly the Chairman of the State Parole Board in Massachusetts.

He was sent on special missions by the Baha'i Nation- a l Spiritual Assembly. He has served the Faith long and well. Last year he moved from Boston to Detroit, Michi- gan.

Members o f the Assembly o f Charlotte, North Carolina at the t ime of incorporation, o n April 2, 1971.

A campaign was conducted on two weekends, begin- ning Saturday, May 29, with a welcome by Dr. A. Schur- gast, Chairman, and an inspiring keynote address by Mr. A. K. Kalantar, who reminded us that the Faith is the most precious thing we have, that we must share i t as it is the only remedy for conditions today. Prayers and readings chosen by Mrs. Connie Williams opened the session, and guidelines were given by Mrs. Joanne Zabel. After a simple luncheon some "foot-soldiers" went on field assignments.

"It's Just the Beginning" was shown a t Mills Commu- nity Room. On Sunday we were going to Hubbard Park, but it rained all day so we gathered a t a home and had group singing and songs by the children's class.

On Saturday June 5 prayers and music were led by Mrs. T. Meynick. Guidelines were repeated, followed by lunch. The teams went out, gathering for reports before the scheduled showing of the movie.

On Sunday, June 6, other Baha'is from out-of-town joined us for direct teaching. We had a circle of prayers and songs, and after a picnic lunch, scattered to the field. At the evening meeting Mr. Kalantar gave a talk in English and Spanish after the film. A fireside was ar- ranged for Spanish-speaking seekers.

At least twelve Baha'is from out of town came to help the first day and at least ten others on the last day. They came from Newington; Cheshire; South Windsor; Stam- . ford; Branford; Pawcatuck; Kensington, Wallingford and Hamden; also from Coventry; Manchester; Hart- ford; Norwalk; Holyoke, Massachusetts and from Au- burn, Maine.

We started late, lacked proper announcements of the event, beyond a short paragraph in the local bulletin, yet we were encouraged. We are still happy over the united action of all the believers in town, as well a s from 7 out-of-town. Each had a duty to perform, and did it. Even the children helped. Our youth prepared the food for the first dinner, cooked hamburgers out-of-doors, etc. We had the advice and cooperation of Mrs. Jean Goss, State Goals representative, who met with our Teaching Committee to plan sessions and follow-up meetings, and showed us how to give any new Baha'i a brief idea of the Faith and its administration.

The first local Spiritual Assembly of Vashon, Washington was formed on April 20, 1971. Members are, back row, left to right: Barbara Hardy, Robert Hardy, Marilyn Webster, J im Cole, Tzm Hardy, George Cole. Seated, le f t to rzght: Gloria Stair, Barbara Peters, Kathryn Clarke.
