Preparing for a devotional meeting
This is the first in a series of images which will form the body of work simply titled Bahá’í and will be a long term project.
This series of photos is from a devotional meeting organised by Wendi Momen,who is a Bahá’í and a former member of the National Spiritual  Assembly of Bahá’ ís of the United Kingdom. Devotional meetings are open to Bahá’ ís  and non Bahá’ ís
The Bahá’í’s
The Bahá’í faith is still very young but in just over one hundred and fifty years it has now become the second most widespread after christianity. It’s origins were in Iran around 1844 and it was founded by Bahá’u’lláh ( meaning the glory of god), who spent most of his life in exile. According to the Bahá’í comunity of the UK there are over five million Bahá’í’s in 235 countries and teritories around the world. The Bahá’í’s believe that humanity is a single race with a common destiny.

Well I have finally got around to re editing these how they were originally intended to be so here they are. There are a number of protests around the world at any one time and quite often the subject is Palestine. Like many other places unfortunately the the area is forever on the edge of stability leading to the suffering of people on all sides.

This particular series is from a protest march which took place in London. The event was mainly peaceful with a small amount of disturbances later that evening.

With the middle east region dominating the news for several decades, peace in the area still seems a long way off but this is only because of the interest of governments and not always because  of the peoples hostility to one another.
