NSA's Young Explains "Five Year Plan"
Sunday, July 15
Pendleton Baha'i Center
Speaking to an assembly of over twenty Baha'i's from both Washington and Oregon, National Spiritual Assembly member and native Pendletonian David Young explained that the overarching goal of the Baha'i "Five Year Plan" is to set in motion the mechanisms needed to spiritually transform the planet. Young described a needed world-wide spiritual paradigm shift that will precipitate the betterment of both community, family and individual lives. That shift, he said, will be achieved only when hearts overflow with love for one another. Then we will will see real results.
At best, Young said, other institutions and governments strive to bring about material improvements for their constituents. The Baha'i Five Year Plan, in contrast, begins with primary tenets of the Faith- equality and justice for all- virtues that are precursors to successfully combating social ills- a the base from which all other efforts arise.
Young graphically outlined the Faith's comprehensive, global administrative order, (pictured above), emphasizing the collaborative efforts needed to make the efforts practical: increasing the numbers of local Study Circles, Children and Youth classes, and teaching efforts, all the while working to specifically address broader community needs, such as poverty, inequality, and drug and alcohol issues.
