A visit to the Bahá’í Centre in Portimão, Portugal 🇵🇹

It is always heartwarming to see how the bonds of friendship and fellowship extend far beyond the boundaries of our local communities.
Two of our members recently had the opportunity to visit the Bahá’í Centre in Portimão, Portugal, where they joined a prayer meeting and met beautiful souls, sharing in a warm and uplifting atmosphere of devotion and friendship.✨

What if a story could do more than entertain a child? What if it could become a quiet companion, something they return to when they need courage, kindness, or a reminder of what really matters?

This is the spirit behind the Anis Foundation, whose name itself means “a companion or a friend.” One of its most engaging collections is The Master: Stories of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá for Children, narrated by Sarah Perceval.

In a world filled with noise, perhaps children need stories that leave something behind after the listening ends, a question, a feeling, an example to follow.

Explore the Anis Foundation’s collection and discover stories that can become companions for the journey. 🎧

Our August Prayers & Pancakes gathering was a beautiful opportunity to come together and reflect on what connects us as human beings. 🙏🥞


This month, we explored the theme of our shared humanity and why it matters so much in today’s world. With people from different backgrounds, ages, and walks of life, we shared our thoughts on what it means to look beyond the things that separate us and recognise the common hopes, challenges, and aspirations that we all share.


As always, thank you to everyone who joined us, shared their thoughts, and helped create such a warm and meaningful space. We look forward to coming together again next month for more prayers, conversations, and, of course, pancakes!

More than 400 young people from across the UK and Ireland came together this July for a national youth conference to reflect on how they can contribute to building a more just, united and hopeful society. We are also delighted that Anisa, from the Newbury Bahá’í community, took part in the conference.

The gathering created a space for young people from diverse backgrounds to explore questions of purpose, friendship, education, service and community life. Rather than seeing young people simply through the challenges they face today, the conference focused on their capacity to become agents of positive change and to contribute meaningfully to the life of their communities. 🌿

A wonderful course taught by our dear Anthony Fleming at the 2026 Bahá’í Summer School in Devon, bringing friends together for a rich and inspiring learning experience. A beautiful opportunity to explore new ideas, deepen our understanding, and enjoy meaningful conversations and connections along the way.

Please take a moment to listen and share:

Mahvash Sabet is an award-winning educator and poet. She has been in and out of detention since 2010, suffering solitary confinement and psychological torture. Alongside the harshness in jail, Mahvash writes about resilience and friendship. One of those she shared a prison ward with for almost a year is Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe - who was herself imprisoned and held hostage by the Iranian State for six years. Julie speaks to Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe and Bahiyyih Nakhjavani who translated the memoir Open Wide the Doors into English.

The power of human understanding does not encompass the reality of the divine Essence: All that man can hope to achieve is to comprehend the attributes of the Divinity, the light of which is manifest and resplendent in the world and within the souls of men.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Some Answered Questions.

O servants! Ye are even as saplings in a garden, which are near to perishing for want of water. Wherefore, revive your souls with the heavenly water that is raining down from the clouds of divine bounty.
Bahá’u’lláh, The Tabernacle of Unity.

"Be calm, be strong, be grateful, and become a lamp full of light, that the darkness of sorrows be annihilated."
'Abdu’l-Bahá
