What We Do

Belief and learning in action

“Is not the object of every Revelation to effect a transformation in the whole character of mankind, a transformation that shall manifest itself, both outwardly and inwardly, that shall affect both its inner life and external conditions?”

— Bahá’u’lláh

Across Canada, Bahá’ís, along with their neighbours and friends, actively participate in a process of individual and collective transformation.

A pivotal concept in the Bahá’í teachings is that the refinement of one’s inner character and service to humanity are inseparable facets of life. In light of this understanding, Bahá’ís have come to appreciate a two-fold purpose that is fundamental to their lives: to attend to their own spiritual and intellectual growth and to contribute to the transformation of society. This two-fold purpose shapes the endeavours of the Bahá’í Community in all areas.

The activities of the Bahá’í Community are open to people of all backgrounds, faiths, and beliefs who wish to participate.
