Comments on: Baha’is of UK receive greetings from Tony Blair http://www.leithjb.net/blog/2007/03/22/bahais-of-uk-receive-greetings-from-tony-blair/ Personal diary of John Barnabas (aka Barney) Leith Thu, 04 Feb 2010 14:25:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Phillipe http://www.leithjb.net/blog/2007/03/22/bahais-of-uk-receive-greetings-from-tony-blair/comment-page-1/#comment-11325 Phillipe Mon, 26 Mar 2007 22:34:38 +0000 http://www.leithjb.net/blog/2007/03/22/bahais-of-uk-receive-greetings-from-tony-blair/#comment-11325 This is cool. As I understand it, the Baha'i Writings anticipate various world leaders who while not being Baha'is themselves would recognize the value of the Baha'i teachings and arise for their propagation. After all the mission of the Baha'i Faith is to the benefit of all people whatever their background, namely unifying the human race. Any fairminded person must see that as a positive thing. Alas that this is not yet the universal attitude of world leaders. This is cool.

I'm rather proud of that photograph, which was taken during a National Assembly retreat weekend in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside. Of course, my blog header has only a slice of a larger photo. Thanks for the comment on the header pic.

I am very happy that the Baha'is in the UK can, within such a framework, play a role which is then acknowledged by political leaders.

Why is it so difficult for Iran and Egypt to promote keeping their citizens in the dark by spreading rumors, falsifying history, and depriving their Baha'is citizens of fundamental human rights? Best wishes to the Baha'is of the U.K. for a Happy Naw-Ruz and a fulfilling New Year! As one Baha'i, I would like to express my appreciation of the services of U.K. Baha'is which have gained the respect and admiration of the Baha'is worldwide and the people of the U.K. as expressed by both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition!

What a breath of fresh air! Thank you for sharing.... Egypt and Iran need to take notice of this example of honest assessment of the contributions of the Baha’i Faith to the world society.
