I have been watching friends’ social media posts from around the world as they share their travel to Santiago, Chile for the dedication of the last continental Baha’i House of Worship. Our hearts are all with the friends as they celebrate this amazing building. At Nineteen Months we wanted to share a few resources with you so that you can participate, even if you aren’t able to attend in person!
First, and most timely, the dedication ceremony and conference will be live-streamed from the inauguration website starting tomorrow (Thursday, October 13), with the audio feed in Spanish, English, and Portuguese. I’ve added the schedule at the bottom of this post, and make sure to adjust the times to your local time zone.
If you want a great summary of the overview of what a Baha’i House of Worship is, check out the recent news story from the Baha’i World News Service.
The Templo Baha’i Vimeo channel has a series of newsreels that highlight the building process over the years, and it might be fun to watch some of these before the dedication ceremony.
