Baha’is Of Ja – Natl Spiritual Assembly (Church)

Description:

Bahá’ís in Jamaica have made considerable efforts to promote religious unity in keeping with the guidance of Bahá’u’lláh to “Consort with the followers of all religions in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship”. In 1950 the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the United States of America introduced the celebration of World Religion Day. The first World Religion Day Observance in Jamaica was held on January 20th 1974 at the Kingston and St. Andrew Parish Library where the Hindu, Christian, Jewish and Bahá’í Faiths were represented. This event is now hosted annually by the Bahá’í community in Jamaica.
