Easthampton

Greetings from the Bahá'ís of Easthampton!

According to our records, the history of the Bahá'í Faith in Easthampton dates back to 1944, with membership expanding as of the early 1980's so that our first, nine-member "Spiritual Assembly" could be elected, probably in the fall of 1984.  Presently, we continue to offer devotional gatherings on a regular basis, which are open to all and at which we share prayers, readings and poetry from various traditions. 

Where possible, we lend our efforts to community building, particularly in light of the Teachings of our Faith which provide,

"In every dispensation, there hath been the commandment of fellowship and love, but it was a commandment limited to the community of those in mutual agreement, not to the dissident foe.

"In this wondrous age, however, praised be God, the commandments of God are not delimited, not restricted to any one group of people, rather have all the friends been commanded to show forth fellowship and love, consideration and generosity and loving-kindness to every community on earth.

"Now must the lovers of God arise to carry out these instructions of His: let them be kindly fathers to the children of the human race, and compassionate brothers to the youth, and self-denying offspring to those bent with years. The meaning of this is that ye must show forth tenderness and love to every human being, even to your enemies, and welcome them all with unalloyed friendship, good cheer, and loving-kindness."

~Bahá’u’lláh
