Done

I participated in a Zoom call with  Christine Muller and Khela Baskett this afternoon. Christine is the General Secretary of the International Environment Forum (IEF). Khela coordinates webinars for IEF (here’s an example).

We explored ways to further IEF engagement with attendees following the webinars. This included reviewing various social networking platforms for communication and collaboration. Age, experience, and comfort with technology make a huge difference in choosing alternatives!

I committed to two tasks. First, outline an approach to move forward for the IEF board to consider in its December meeting. Second, assist Khela to categorize and message the webinar attendees.

Quoted

Wherever the mention of Bahá’u’lláh rises up, that is the paradise of Abhá. Wherever purified, severed and illumined souls are found, that is the paradise of Bahá. Ṭihrán is the paradise of Bahá’u’lláh, for souls are found there you cannot call human; they are angels. In reality, the Bahá’í friends in that city are of the heavenly host. Whenever I think of them, I become happy.

The Blessed Perfection suffered innumerable ordeals and calamities, but during His lifetime He trained in all regions many souls who were peerless. The purpose of the appearance of the Manifestations of God is the training of the people. That is the only result of Their mission, the real outcome. The outcome of the whole life of Jesus was the training of eleven disciples and two women. Why did He suffer troubles, ordeals and calamities? For the training of these few followers. That was the result of His life. The product of the life of Christ was not the churches but the illumined souls of those who believed in Him. Afterward, they spread His teachings.

It is my hope that you all may become the product of the life of Bahá’u’lláh and the outcomes of His heavenly training. When the people ask you, “What has Bahá’u’lláh accomplished?” say to them, “He has created these; He has trained us.” ¹
