"Prayer is like the spirit and material means are like the human hand. The spirit operateth through the instrumentality of the hand. Although the one true God is the All-Provider, it is the earth which is the means to supply sustenance."

"Do I have to be a Baha'i to join the choir?"
No! You certainly do not have to be a Baha'i to join the choir. We want to have all kinds of folk as a part of our family. We do want you to know that we will talk a lot about the Baha'i Faith & Baha'u'llah and we will be using our music to teach people about the Faith - just so's ya know.
"Praise be to God, in this day the light of the Word of God has shone forth upon all regions;
and from all sects, communities, nations, tribes, peoples, religions and denominations,
souls have gathered together under the shadow of the Word of Oneness, and have in the utmost fellowship united and harmonized!"

"I don't live anywhere near where the gatherings are. How can I take part?"
Our many years of experience with the One Human Family Choir have shown us that even if people can make it to a very few events in a year, the effects of those experiences upon them and the choir are powerful, long-lasting and in many cases, life-changing, so we do encourage members to make every effort to participate in as many gatherings as possible. Lately, we have regular attendance from Kentucky, Ohio, Alabama and Tennessee.
However, we do realize that for many it is just not possible to do that; so we have a few suggestions as to how you can take part wherever you are:
However, we do realize that for many it is just not possible to do that; so we have a few suggestions as to how you can take part wherever you are:
- Pray - for the choir, for you and for guidance.
- Sing - worship God with your voice; learn the songs
- Share - encourage others to learn the songs too and sing them where you are
- Touch - as in "keep in touch"; we want to know what you're doing, how you're doing and maybe there's something we can do, or you may have suggestions that we need to hear, Let's encourage one another.
- Bring us to you - perhaps there's an event happening in your area that we can be a part of or you might want to create an event. Let's see what we can do together.
"Try with all your hearts to be willing channels for God's Bounty. For I say unto you that He has chosen you to be His messengers of love throughout the world, to be His bearers of spiritual gifts to man, to be the means of spreading unity and concord on the earth. Thank God with all your hearts that such a privilege has been given unto you. For a life devoted to praise is not too long in which to thank God for such a favour.
