“Richard had wandered deep into the dark forest. He was lost, but it didn’t feel that way to him. He walked dreamily, losing all sense of time. High above, through the green canopy of leaves, light entered the forest in shafts, shining in the morning mists. He walked deeper into the forest, unafraid. Richard felt as if he had entered a temple of the woods. He sank to the ground in a state of great happiness, a state called ecstasy. All his senses and feelings came alive. He was alone but felt the trees and all the living creatures he loved were embracing him.”

Read more in Richard St. Barbe Baker: Child of Trees, part of the Change Maker series.

Available in book and e-book format.

Episode: Anchor of Faith: The Enduring Spirit of the Black Men’s Gathering by Richard Thomas and Frederick Landry

Born of the need to address the plight of men of African descent in the United States, and the unique afflictions imposed upon them, the Black Men’s Gathering was founded in 1987 as an individual initiative. From its humble origins in a Greensboro hotel room where the original twelve participants met, the Gathering would grow and evolve over the course of a quarter-century to embrace hundreds in an atmosphere of love, fellowship, and devotion to the Cause of God. Anchor of Faith gives us a glimpse of the vibrant spirit of the Gathering; details its history, evolution, and influence; and brings to light the countless avenues of service pursued by its participants both at home and across the globe.

Author Roshan Danesh describes his book Dimensions of Bahá’í Law. Roshan Danesh has devoted his career to the study of law and religion with a particular focus on the Bahá’í Faith and its central legal text, the Kitáb-i-Aqdas. In this collection of essays—previously published in a variety of academic journals, including the prestigious Journal of Law and Religion—Danesh invites the reader into an exploration of largely unchartered waters. As he states in the introduction to this collection, “understanding Bahá’í law challenges us to question, and ultimately abandon, our taken-for-granted ways of thinking, talking about, and using law.”

Organized around four distinct areas— Bahá’u’lláh’s conception of law, the constitutional dimensions of the Bahá’í Faith, Bahá’u’lláh’s theory of social change, and scholarship and discourses concerning Bahá’í law—the essays collected here are expansive and illuminating, and they provide an invaluable contribution to discourse on the subject. With a foreword by Kiser Barnes.
