Thursday, August 10, 2023 | | | Emerging House of Worship stands as a symbol of unity | | PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea — As the sun rises over Port Moresby, it illuminates a unique woven exterior that wraps the emerging Bahá'í House of Worship in its embrace. The design of the recently completed façade—inspired by traditional weaving—is symbolic of unity and the coming together of people of different backgrounds from across Papua New Guinea.
In a land enriched by over 1,000 ethnic groups, this sacred structure, now nearing completion, beckons all people. Kevin Tagos, a worker on the site, says, "We come from different parts of Papua New Guinea and learn from one another. We share stories about the beauty of the House of Worship and how it binds us together."
Houses of Worship are described in the Bahá'í teachings as vital institutions that exemplify in a tangible form the integration of worship and service. This idea is finding greater expression in the communities surrounding the temple, as growing numbers of people regularly gather at the site to pray and to contemplate how they can serve the needs of their fellow citizens. | To read the story online, view more photos, or view the video visit news.bahai.org. | | | | | Rising temple inspires public participation in weaving project | | | | | | House of Worship superstructure completed | | | | | | House of Worship takes shape | | | Follow BWNS for regular updates | | Dear Edward Lorilla, you are receiving this email because you subscribed to the Bahá'í World News Service (BWNS) at news.bahai.org/subscribe/.
