A Still More Superb Mission

Paul Lample
2024 ABS Conference, Atlanta, GA
With the close of the first century of the Formative Age, the Bahá’í world now turns its attention to the requirements of a new century of endeavor beginning with a release in ever greater measures of the society building power of the Faith. In The Advent of Divine Justice, Shoghi Effendi explained to the Bahá’í community of North America that, following the close of the international mission placed upon them for the execution of the Divine Plan, “a greater, a still more superb mission, incomparable in its splendor, and foreordained for them by Bahá’u’lláh” may be thrust upon them. It would require their involvement in eradicating, from the generality of the people to which they belong, the three evil tendencies he addressed in detail in that book. “Suffice it to say,” he explained, “that out of the turmoil and tribulations of these ‘latter years’ opportunities undreamt of will be born, and circumstances unpredictable created, that will enable, nay impel, the victorious prosecutors of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s Plan, to add, through the part they will play in the unrolling of the New World Order, fresh laurels to the crown of their servitude to the threshold of Bahá’u’lláh.” The presentation will consider the initial steps in the century ahead toward fulfillment of this greater mission, including exploring a framework for action for the elimination of racial prejudice.

Unity is not a dream, but the result of the natural expression of the degree to which spiritual virtues are practiced in our daily lives. We most easily come together to consult on issues, seeking beneficial solutions. Divisiveness comes out of and serves the ego, our self-dreamed image of ourselves. Unity is diverse, always. This presentation accurately depicts the path to take away from having power over others, and steadily replace those practices with a focus on how well we can create unity using spiritual virtues to develop peace and understanding between each of us for the betterment of all. Thank you for this thoughtful program.

Most apt. Humanity has a long road ahead. We have started and we shall continue to walk that path

Thanks for this powerful presentation & its message that we need to examine the entrenched structure of human thought -- which is the deeper cause of racism--& how that way of thinking operates in our daily life. Focusing on the consequences of this racist thinking will not end the problem unless & until we also understand it.
