Bahá’is will recognize, in 2021, the centenary of the passing of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá (son of the Faith’s founder). Starting in the springtime, many will commemorate the significance of this year by more consciously striving to emulate His exemplary life. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s call to arise and serve as “stars in the eyes of God’s Compassion” distills its own meaning for each reader who views it from their vantage point in history. Now, more than a century after He wrote the passage, our discussion will examine three aspects of this call to serve: · A century of work that served the best interests of humankind; · Current contexts for work as worship; and · Tailoring personal communications and acts of compassion to the exigencies of our time.
