We are the Bahá’í’s of Columbia, MO and Boone County
A little about us:
We started as a group of four individuals in 1970, and are now a community of over 50. In 1972, National, the governing body for the Bahá’í’s of the United States, recognized our community and we were incorporated at that time.
We have a adopt-a-spot, located on Broadfield, which is the side road by Hy-Vee on West Broadway. Please come and see it.
Education Under Fire (EUF) is a campaign developed to address the Iranian government’s denial of the right to education for ideological and religious reasons. Beyond the goal of encouraging specific action in order to mitigate the effects of these policies in Iran, the campaign will begin conversations on university campuses and within communities around the country in order to raise awareness of and shine a light on the importance of defending Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which guarantees education as an inalienable right of every human being.
