Tablets of the Divine Plan’: A Look at the Baha’is of Canada

January 8, 2017, in Videos > Documentary, by

This short documentary, produced on behalf of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of Canada by WestWind Pictures, charts the development of the Faith in Canada from the unveiling of the Tablets of the Divine Plan to today. 

The movie can also be watched in French here.

If you’d like to read more about the Tablets of the Divine Plan, they can be read in full on the Baha’i Reference Library. We’ve also shared a few introductory comments and a personal reflection on these sacred Tablets.

A wonderful video.
Bonds of loving gratitude will forever link the Baha’i communities of New Zealand and Australia with that of Canada, because of the Canadian Baha’is who crossed the Pacific Ocean to help build those national communities. What inspiring, devoted ambassadors of their nation and Baha’i community!
In fact, the distinctive soft Canadian accent can be heard in a multitude of Baha’i communities throughout the world, a legacy of the great Canadian Baha’i community arising to fulfil the directives of the Tablets of the Divine Plan. For more on those Tablets, see the recently published book “Call to Apostleship” by Janet A. Khan (Baha’i Publishing, Wilmette, Illinois), 2016.
