The Baha'is of Austin area request your support

Please join us as we unite our fervent prayers with those of our friends around the world for the freedom of seven followers of the Bahá'í Faith in Iran.

You are first invited to offer prayers during a 24-hour period starting at noon on Saturday, February 6th, in your homes and your congregations.

Sunday, February 7, at 1:00 p.m.
Austin Bahá'í Center

We wish to show sympathy for and solidarity with these innocent human beings as they face the second session of a trial on February 7th in Iran, after being unjustly charged with crimes that could result in severe consequences.

The Yárán, or “friends,” in jail for almost two years have expressed that the prayers offered worldwide have been a constant source of comfort and support to them as they have withstood their long ordeal with heroic fortitude and patience.

Our Vision:
World Peace • Race Unity • Equality of Women and Men • Spiritual Unity

What do you believe?
• Do you believe that each person should independently seek after religious truth?
• Do you believe that women and men are spiritually equal?
• Do you believe that religion and science should agree?
• Do you believe in the abandonment of all forms of prejudice and that there should be unity between the races?
• Do you believe in the idea of universal education?

If you agree with some or all of the foregoing we think you will be interested in the teachings of the Bahá'í Faith, whose principles serve as a guide to religious and social progress at this time. Fuller discussion may be had by contacting Bahá'ís by telephoning the Austin Bahá'í Center, (512) 926-8880.
