with Dr. Lisa Molin, Friday October 25, 2013 - 8:00 pm EST Food choices affect the health of the individual and humanity as a whole on both the physical and spiritual level. It also plays a significant role in the health of our planet and is a key player in current issues of concern, including global warming and the escalation of chronic disease. The Writings of our Faith will be examined in light of these topics and used to demonstrate the importance of individual understanding and initiative to institute change. Lisa Molin is a practicing Otolaryngologist-Head and Neck Surgeon residing in Los Osos, California. She received her undergraduate degrees in Agricultural Biochemistry and Agronomy. Her special interests are nutrition and health. She participates in medical missions for the treatment of cleft lips and palates.

Homefront Pioneering

The Baha’i Council is asking us to make the selfless decision to move soon to clusters where the programs of growth are just starting out and in need of support.  See the letter dated Sept. 24 which was sent out on WaterlooCluster for all the details!  Or, just write directly to the Baha'i Council and start your plans!

Any individual or family wishing to respond to this urgent call is asked to contact the Bahá’í Council, by email to council@ontariobahai.org or by mail at 288 Bloor Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5S 1V8.
