The local Baha’i community is celebrating the 200th anniversary of its faith this month.
As many as 1,300 members of the faith group live in the Tri-Cities and the local spiritual assembly is inviting the Coquitlam community to participate in an E-book that may be published in paperback at some point in the future. The group is looking for stories, essays and poems with the theme of unity in diversity.
As well, the Coquitlam community plans to celebrate by feeding the homeless, cleaning local parks, visiting the elderly, hosting a prayer vigil and hosting a friendship cafe at Victoria Hall.
To commemorate the 200th birthday celebration of founder Baha’u’llah, an event will be held at the Executive Inn on Saturday, Oct. 21 at 1 p.m. For more information, email [email protected].
