Unity Dialogue Workshop and Dinner
Stephen's Lee Community Center
30 George Washington Carver Ave, Asheville, NC 28801
Join the conversation! The Bahá'is of Asheville and Buncombe county will be hosting an inclusive and dynamic Unity World Cafe. Participants will witness how we are all part of a greater community building process -- from the individual, to the neighborhood, to the globe.
The workshop will have programs for both children and adults. Small group conversations will be facilitated to explore questions such as "Where do we find the divides that separate people?" "In what ways can we break down the partisan nature of government, the systemic racism that oppresses all of us, and the obstacles to quality education?"
A globally-inspired dinner and closing ceremony will compliment the sharing of our collective discoveries. Please RSVP as seating capacity is limited. Youth and children encouraged to attend.
"This is the Day in which mankind can behold the Face, and hear the Voice, of the Promised One.
The Call of God hath been raised... Great indeed is this Day! The allusions made to it in all the sacred Scriptures as the Day of God attest its greatness. The soul of every Prophet of God, of every Divine Messenger, hath thirsted for this wondrous Day. All the divers kindreds of the earth have, likewise, yearned to attain it."
