- September 24 – 27|Spiritual Identity: A Seminar on Sexuality and Spirituality, by Mary K. Radpour, Sponsored by the Bahá’í Association for Mental Health and the Bahá’í Network for AIDS, Sexuality, Addictions and Abuse (BNASAA).
- February 12 –14|Celebrating Marriage, by Hoda and David Kemp.
As we approach more and more diverse peoples through Outreach, not only people of different racial and ethnic backgrounds, but individuals with personal, social and family issues of physical, sexual and/ or substance misuse or abuse, couples living in common-law, people practicing gay and lesbian lifestyles, etc, it is important that we not exclude such individuals from approaching Bahá’u’lláh because of our own feelings or misunderstandings of the processes of change and transformation. This seminar is to start exploring the notion of tolerance and what it means to really appreciate and respect and support the process that leads people to approach Bahá’u’lláh and His teachings to recognize the commonality and similarities of all our journeys as we face our humanity and struggle with the veils that keep us from attaining His Presence.
