Introduction to Baha’i Faith: ‘Exemplar’
Wednesday, Sept. 21, 6:30-8 p.m.
“Exemplar” is a movie that follows the life of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and the profound effect he had on people both past and present. Included are vignettes about his journey across the United States and Canada in 1912. He spoke several times in Massachusetts during that journey. The film reflects a few of the universal principles embodied, both in word and deed, by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. Bre Vader, the co-director of the film, will be on hand for a short Q&A session when the film is done. This program is recommended for ages 12 and older.

Freedom Team Book Club
Tuesday, Sept. 27, 6:30-7:30 p.m.
Recommended for ages 16 and older, the Freedom Team Book Club each month reads a book about bias, discrimination or inequity. Individuals are asked to bring their empathy and a willingness to listen. This month’s book is “Algorithms of Oppression” by Safiya Umoja Noble. Copies of the books are available at the front desk, as are bookmarks with the rest of the year’s book schedule. This event is in-person. Masks are encouraged but not required. Registration is not required, but individuals may register if they would like a reminder email the day before the event.
