Last week marked the one year anniversary of the arrests of the seven members of the ad-hoc coordinating body of the Baha'is in Iran, being held in Evin Prison. This presentation was made for the Cluster Reflection Gathering of the Baha'is of Washington, D.C. in March 2009, during which we kept them in our prayers and thoughts.

Many thanks to Jon Lebensold (flickr.com/people/jlebensold/) for his permission to use his photo of the Seat of the Universal House of Justice, at dusk.

All other photos may be found at bahai.org/attaining, media.bahai.org, and news.bahai.org.

i'm just... STUNNED. i can't believe how brilliant the music/video conjunction is. at first, knowing the song (and meaning of the lyrics) from before, i found it seriously strange. but then i read the lyrics giving them a different meaning and... UNBELIEVABLY WELL DONE!!! kudos for your genius creativity! sahba from portugal

Thank you so much, Sahba. The video seems a bit choppy, which it shouldn't be, so I'll try uploading it again. Meanwhile, thank you so much for your kind words!

Please do re-load... the audio is very choppy at the beginning... but what a thing of beauty! Mahalo!

I've tried again and again-- I think there's something up with Vimeo itself.
