48th ABS Annual Conference

The Baha'i writings state that "Charity is pleasing and praiseworthy in the sight of God and is regarded as a prince among goodly deeds," and that for wealth to be acceptable it must “be expended for philanthropic purposes.” The panel will be comprised of Baha'is with experience in philanthropy who will share their learnings, rooted in the Writings and Guidance from the House of Justice, about ways that Baha'is might consider approaches to philanthropy. Lessons learned from Baha'i-inspired efforts, as well as reflections on the possible future state of philanthropy as envisioned by 'Abdu’l-Baha will be offered.
