The Baha'i Faith -- Question and Answer
Sidney Pacific Seminar Room
Saturday, September 2
7:00 - 8:00 pm

The Baha'i Faith is a world religion with teachings that promulgate the oneness
of God and the oneness of humanity.  Baha'is believe that all the major
religions derive from one Source, and that Baha'u'llah is the latest Messenger
of God.  Teachings of Baha'u'llah promote the elimination of prejudice, the
equality of women and men, the agreement of science and religion, and
additional guidance that can cure humanity's ills.

A question and answer session about the Baha'i Faith is planned to begin at 7:00
pm Saturday, September 2.  All questions are welcome, and refreshments are to be
served.

Message-ID: <77064b1c0609151411s40a9770w72e215d7e5e33d74@mail.gmail.com>

Hi guys!

I think I mentioned to some of you that there was going to be a Movies That
Matter this Saturday night at SidPac.  We've decided to team up with BU to
do joint Movies That Matter, so  the one this Saturday is canceled.  We'll
send out another email once we figure out when and where the new Movies that
Matter will be.

Part of the reason we're cancelling for this Saturday is also that it's Arts
Night at the Boston Baha'i Center.  There's going to be paintings by Rashin
Fahandejsaadi and a hip hop performance by Badi - more information online at
***www.dissonanceresolved.com/artsnight.html*.  I've heard that Arts Night
is really fun.  If anyone else wants to go, I'd like to go, so send me an
email and we could go over together.

Jackie

Hi everyone,

If you're receiving this e-mail, it means that you at some point expressed
interest in the Harvard Baha'i Association.  Good News!  You can come
satisfy that interest at two events on campus this week.

Intro Meeting
Tuesday, September 19th
7:00 PM
Hilles 320
Come learn about the Baha'i Faith, the Harvard Association, and the
various activities we run during the year.  Bring any and all questions!

"What is the Baha'i Faith?" Talk and Q&A
Friday, September 22
8:00 PM
#600 Quincy House (in New Quincy)
Come enjoy good company and good food while you hear about the Baha'i
Faith.  This is the latest of several similar talks in Quicy House, and
they always draw a large and diverse group of inquiring minds from Harvard
and the greater Boston area. Guaranteed to give you something to think
about!

As always, you can contact me by e-mail (sabet at fas.harvard.edu) or phone
(617-894-5637) if you have any questions about the Baha'i Association at
Harvard or the Baha'i Faith in general.  If you can't make our events this
week, keep an eye out for more events in the upcoming weeks, and feel free
to get in touch with me if you want to meet at some other time to chat.

Have a great shopping week!

Best,
Mike

Hi,

A "Movies that Matter" night is planned to be hosted tomorrow night at MIT.  The
Seminar Room in Sidney Pacific is the venue, and the film is scheduled to start
at 6:30 pm.  "Sarafina" will likely be shown, and a description is below.

Friends are welcome to come, and snacks are planned to be provided

After entering Sidney Pacific, enter the doors to the right to the north
division of the building.  Follow the hallway to a second set of doors; enter
and turn left to find the Seminar Room.  Call David at 617 413 0845 for help
entering.


"'Sarafina' is a powerful and moving film about the struggle of South African
school kids for survival and freedom against apartheid. It is a story of
determination, perseverance and courage against tremendous odds. It teaches us
that good will always triumph against evil: that the oppressed will always
fight back and die to regain their freedom and dignity. The viewer will have a
picture of what life was like under apartheid, ranging from school life, living
conditions for blacks, the prisons and the brutal police.

I particularly love the beautiful South African music with its rich and
outstanding vocals, percussion, horns and the like. You will love the sounds of
veterans musicians like Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba.
