Time for Reflection Before Council Meeting
Monday, 03 June 2013 11:14
Dumfries and Galloway Council welcomed Naysun Alae-Carew of the Baha’i community at the Time for Reflection before the meeting of the Full Council on 30 May 2013.
In leading the Reflection, Naysun referred to the visit to Scotland of the Baha’i community leader 100 years ago this year – he came to Edinburgh at the invitation of the Moderator of the Church of Scotland and met with academics, clerics and schoolchildren to discuss equality of men and women, harmony of science and religion, and the reality that all the world’s faiths have the same divine source and purpose.
Naysun’s address to the Councillors highlighted that the Centenary of this journey to Scotland is an invitation to evaluate our own personal journeys – how in order to be of true service to others we need to turn away from blind belief, ideology and tradition and seek out the answers to troubles which affect us all personally and socially.
