Filed Under Baha'i community, Bahá'í administration | Leave a Comment
More than 700 members of the UK Baha’i community gathered in Nottingham over the weekend to take part, as delegates or as observers, in their annual national convention.
The central role in the convention is played by the 95 delegates elected by Baha’is at local level across the country.
The delegates take part intensive consultations about the work of the Baha’i community in the coming year. They also participate in the election of the nine members of the community’s national governing council, the National Spiritual Assembly.
Elected to serve on the National Spiritual Assembly for the coming year are Mrs Zarin Hainsworth-Fadaie, Mr Pete Hulme, Mr Barney Leith, Dr Kishan Manocha, Ms Fidelma Meehan, Mr Patrick O’Mara, Dr Vafa Ram, Dr Shirin Tahzib, and Ms Sara Talai.
Discussions at this year’s convention have been inspired and shaped by a major message from the Universal House of Justice, the Baha’i world’s international governing council. Delegates have focused on developing understanding of Baha’i approaches to community building.
