Baha'i Women: Still Marching Down Under

By Linda Shallcross.
n.p. Linda Shallcross 2022 .
103 p. illus. , A compilation of short stories about young women, mostly from Australia, who were attracted to the Baha'i Faith in the 1960s and 1970s. Many were amongst the first in their family to join this new Faith and often after searching for meaning in their lives. Some were actively seeking for truth, while others were attracted by the Sydney Baha'i Temple. And some others felt guided by loved ones who had passed onto the spiritual realm. These women have now been Baha'is for 50 or more years and their stories, heartfelt and at times heartbreaking, are a celebration for them and their families. 978-0-646-85762-6

Les cultures à l'oeuvre : rencontres en art

.
414 p. : ill. ; 24 cm , Les cultures à l’œuvre est un ensemble cohérent d’articles émanant de 18 anthropologues, historiens de l’art et sociologues (dont 8 sont anglo-saxons), rendant compte à la fois des développements actuels des études anthropologiques traitant des images et de l’art occidentaux et non occidentaux, et des différences de perspectives entre les chercheurs français et leurs collègues anglais et américains. Trois orientations principales traversent le livre : > Plusieurs des textes présentés rapprochent, dans leur méthodologie, le type de questions posées et l’objet présenté et décrit des études habituellement menées par les historiens de l’art ; > Cette réflexion sur les affinités qui lient de plus en plus étroitement anthropologues et historiens de l’art s’accompagne d’analyses sur les fonctions et significations autochtones des expressions artistiques. Plusieurs contributions portent ainsi sur les conditions d’émergence, la production et les critères de définition d’un art contemporain non occidental dont la vocation, de la part de ses créateurs, est d’être reconnu sur la scène internationale ; > Enfin, une place importante est donnée à des études consacrées aux modes d’évaluation des œuvres non occidentales par des acteurs occidentaux tels que les voyageurs, les collecteurs, les collectionneurs, les institutions muséales, etc.

Messages to the Antipodes : Communications from Shoghi Effendi to the Bahá'í Communities of Australasia

Mona Vale, NSW Baha'i Publications Australia 1997 .
472 p. , This volume brings together, for the first time, the communications addressed to the followers of Bahá'u'lláh in the Australasian area by Shoghi Effendi during the period of his ministry, from 1921 to 1957, as Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith. Since the majority of the Bahá'ís of Australasia were resident in Australia during that period, most of the letters collected here were addressed to the believers in that continent. It constitutes a valuable depository of the authoritative guidance from the Head of the Faith during that time. 0-909991-98-7

Messages to the Antipodes : Communications to the Bahá'í Communities of Australasia

Ingleside Baha'i Publications Australia 2021 .
497 p. illus. , This compilation of communications from Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of Bahá'u'lláh's Faith, provides deep insight to the manner in which, over a period of some four and a half decades, he single-handedly raised vibrant Bahá'í communities in Australia and New Zealand. Boundless love, patience and encouragement perfume the communications of Shoghi Effendi with the three protagonists of the Divine Plan—individuals, institutions, and the community—whether written by him or on his behalf, the latter invariably accompanied by a personal note of endearment in his own hand. The Guardian's humility, his spirit of servitude, the openness of his heart and mind, and the power of his voice, permeate his correspondence, constantly urging the friends to arise and, in so doing, to turn to 'Abdu'l-Bahá as their guide and refuge while perceiving himself as but their "devoted brother and co-worker". The magnetism of his self-sacrificing love inspired and empowered the handful of early believers in spreading the healing message of Bahá'u'lláh and establishing the Administrative Order of the Faith. 9780909991289
