“Be not content in showing friendship in words alone. Let your heart burn with loving-kindness for all who cross your path.”
Abdu’l-Baha, Baha’i World Faith

A Nosh of Baha’i
The Baha’i Faith is the world’s second-most widespread religion after Christianity, spanning the globe and working to unite it. Baha’is have no clergy or churches, gathering together in democratically-led communities and welcoming everyone.
The millions of Baha’is in the world come from every ethnicity, nationality, tribe, age, racial group, religious background and economic and social class.
Bahá’ís believe the crucial need facing humanity is to find a unifying vision of the future of society and of the nature and purpose of life.

During the month of November, Baha’i Blogging is hosting a post-a-day-or-so something related to or inspired by Faith. Because so many of you follow both this blog and CATNIPblog Peggy & I will post our “dailies” here and Sunday “retrospectives” on CATNIPblog.com

Shari,
I think you meant cheesed? If not you’ve given me yet another word to look up.

Chesed – Hebrew for loving kindness. One of my favorite words, along with emet which means truth.

Shari,
Chesed, emet – wonderful. I find that words and expressions in many languages capture the essence of meanings (especially virtues) in ways that English can’t.
