“The world of humanity is like a tree,
the nations or peoples are the different limbs or branches…
and the individual human creatures are as the fruits and
blossoms thereof.” --Abdu'l-Bahá

The Wisdom of the Sacred is often passed down by our elders
through stories, told to guide our community, our children, and our
grandchildren.

The Baha'i Community is celebrating Earth Day 2019 by a 2nd showing of the PBS/NOVA documentary: "Decoding the Weather Machine".  This will occur Monday, April 22, at 7pm, at the Indianapolis Baha'i Center.

Greenhouse gases are being released and the climate is changing.  What can Baha'is and their friends do to help mitigate the impact?
