Notes

The Bahá’í Faith has been in Cincinnati since 1898. We are one of the ten oldest Bahá’í communities in the United States. Àbdu’l-Bahá the son of Bahá’u’llah (the founder of the Bahá’í Faith) actually visited Cincinnati in 1912. We have had an incorporated Local Spiritual Assembly (the elected group which guides the faith) in Cincinnati since 1932.

I plan to follow up and exchange ideas, plans, and to see how this experience impacted their lives and their communities. This was a special moment as we got to know the visitor's life story, their struggles and their successes as they look to better serve their communities back in their country.”
