Toronto, Ontario, 19 June 2008 (CBNS) — In a move towards greater religious inclusivity, Ontario legislators voted late last week to supplement the daily recitation of the Lord’s Prayer in the Ontario Legislature with prayers from several other major religious traditions, including a Baha’i prayer.

HEIDELBERG, Germany, 19 February 2008 (BWNS) -- Twenty-five-year-old Andreas Rolle is in his final year of university, studying to become an elementary-school teacher. Like many students, he describes his daily life as "frenzied."

But he has discovered a small island of peace in his schedule: a prayer meeting every two weeks hosted by five Baha'is, also students in Heidelberg, a university town of 150,000 people.

The Bahá'í Prayers web site was created as a celebration of the beauty of the Bahá'í scriptures. Recent work has focused on serving both the English-speaking and international communities. This website is kindly sponsored by the Local Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of Shoreline, Washington (USA).
