Bahá’ís are at the very beginning of the process of community building. While valuable experience has been gained over the past 30 years by drawing on the society-building power of the Revelation, there are also rich insights to be gleaned from community development thinking and practice in the wider society. The goal of this presentation is to correlate these insights with the guidance of the Universal House of Justice about the salient features of community building in the Divine Plan, and to explore practical considerations for synthesizing the two, informed by experience leading a community health agency in urban Toronto.
