Montreal Bahai Community

Download as MP3

As part of the ongoing monthly series "The Spirit of Montreal", in which the "Big Idea" showcases a local religious community in Montreal, this episode introduces the Montreal Bahai community--its beliefs and presence in this city, with particular attention given to the historic importance of Montreal for Bahais worldwide, having been visited by Abdul-Bahai, the son of the Bahai prophet.

Part 1 concentrates on Bahai beliefs and the Bahai Center in Montreal. I interviewed Jean-Paul Moss, director of media for the local Bahai community as well as other members. Part 2 concentrates on the historic aspect.

This episode begins an ongoing series planned to air every other time, called "The Spirit of Montreal", in which the "Big Idea" will showcase a local religious community in Montreal.

This time, I visited the Padua Centre, an urban spiritual community in the diverse low-income neighborhood of Little Burgundy.
