Throughout International Convention, we have heard from delegates from every continent, from countries poor and rich. Any delegate who wishes to speak lines up at one of the microphones and takes his or her turn to speak to the theme of the consultation session or to say whatever is on their heart. One older lady, a delegate from one of the Pacific islands, spoke through a translator to bring the greetings of the Baha’is of her island to those gathered at the Convention.
The humbling and exciting thing for those of us from the wealthy countries is that much of the really useful learning comes from the Baha’i communities of the poorer countries. It is heartwarming to hear stories from Indonesia, Chad, Solomon Islands, Nicaragua, Zambia…

Well, I do know that I learn from you!
Have you got a good singing voice, I’ll have my next lesson put to music please…
One last question (they always are my last questions!), is there some kind of report or document made from this Convention, like what occurs in our local and national conventions?
Btw, have a nice trip back!
Sam, I’m not sure if there will be any kind of output document. You can, of course, visit the Baha’i World News Service for stories from the Convention, but whether nor not the Universal House of Justice will decide to publish a document from the Convention, I don’t know.

Barney,
Where can we find more info on the Baha’is arrested today?
