"The honor and distinction of the individual consist in this, that he among all the world’s multitudes should
become a
source of social good."
From the Bahá'í Writings
A moment of appreciation from the Bahá'ís of Palo Alto
This site was created by the Bahá'í children's class program in Palo Alto, as
as a way to recognize in others the virtues that we have been studying, including gratitude, selflessness, and sacrifice—virtues that
express our true nobility, bind us together as a community, and bring out the best in all of us.
Bahá’ís, living and working in tens of thousands of localities across the globe, are striving to contribute to a process of
community building in which acts of worship and efforts to promote the common good are woven together. Everyone willing to participate in this
process is welcome. Its purpose, is to help raise the capacity of more and more people to take charge of their spiritual, social, and
intellectual development so that they come to see themselves as active agents of both their own and their communities’ progress, rather than passive
spectators of events beyond their control.
