As you read this, I am in Oslo at the invitation of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of Norway to help train representatives of some of the Norwegian local Baha’i communities in basic external affairs skills. I shall be working on this with my colleague and friend Dan Wheatley.
While we’re there we shall be attending the Nineteen Day Feast that starts the Baha’i month of fasting – a month that runs from sunset on 1 March to sunset on 20 March. Of course, we don’t fast solidly for 19 days; we refrain from eating and drinking from sunrise to sunset each day (unless we are ill or travelling or breast-feeding – which I shall not be doing – or too old).
Back on Monday!

Forum18, in Oslo, promotes religious freedom and often features the Baha’is. An item just came though from that organisation today:
KYRGYZSTAN: Repressive Decree withdrawn, but work on new Religion Law speeded up.
Thanks for the link, Steve. I’m in contact with the Forum18 people in the UK from time to time and get their e-newsletter.
