IRC Firesides

"In just over 100 years, the Baha'i Faith [Founded by Baha'u'llah (1817 -

1892) has grown from an obscure movement in the Middle East to the

second-most widespread of the independent world religions. Embracing

people from more than 2,100 ethnic, racial and tribal groups, it is quite

likely the most diverse organized body of people on the planet. Its unity

challenges prevailing theories about human nature and the prospects for

our common future.

The main theme of Baha'u'llah's message is unity. He taught that there is

only one God, that all the world's religions represent one changeless and

eternal Faith of God, and that all humanity is one race,

destined to live in peace and harmony."

Excerpted from The Baha'is, a publication of the Baha'i International Community.

Who: Anyone interested in the Baha'i Faith.

What: A fireside is a Baha'i term for when Baha'is invite their friends

into their homes to ask questions and learn more about the Baha'i Faith.

We try to follow this definition as well as we can on IRC.

Where: On Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel '#bahai'.

When: Every Monday at 8:30pm EST (equivalently, 5:30pm PST, 6:30pm MST,

7:30pm CST, 9:30pm AST, and 1:30am Tuesday GMT/UTC).
