49th annual ABS conference: applying spiritual insights to contemporary fields of learning
From August 1 to 3, Calgary saw more than 2000 participants from diverse walks of life come together for the 49th annual conference of the Association for Baháʼí Studies of North America (ABS). According to Dr. Todd Smith, member of the ABS North America executive committee, “a major area of exploration animating the annual conference and all ABS activities is the question of what it means to be in a mode of learning,” which has been shaped particularly by guidance from the Universal House of Justice. The activities at the annual conference have evolved as a result, growing in diversity.
