About this Event

Is it unrealistic or even naive to think that we should try to live a virtuous life in today’s world?



As children we’re taught to be good, to be kind, to be honest. Yet as we get older, some of these virtues get lost or sacrificed for the sake of expediency or convenience, or a sense that they’re just not compatible with the world today. Even worse, some might think it could allow others who don’t hold to these values to take advantage of us. But what is the impact on a society that no longer values these ideals? What is the impact on us as individuals? Can a spiritual perspective help us to recognize the inherent value of these qualities?



Come join a different kind of conversation – one that welcomes every perspective in a search for the truths that unite us all – as we discuss the spiritual perspectives offered by the Bahá’í Teachings on the importance of qualities related to human character, such as truthfulness, integrity, and kindness. Join us for a lively discussion as together we explore how developing these qualities can enable the progress and improvement of society as a whole.




“Truthfulness is the foundation of all human virtues.” – Bahá’í Teachings



*** The event is free and open to all regardless of background or belief. Donations will not be accepted.
