SPIRITUALI-TEA HONORS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS
This Monday, Oct 23, at
6:30 p.m., all are invited to join
a group of people who enjoy
finding the common grounds in
diverse spiritual thoughts and
paths at 875 Seventh St.
This week, the Florence
Spirituali-Tea group will honor
Domestic Violence Awareness
Month, and focus on the effects
of violence and the remedies
before us.
According to Bahá’í princi-
pals, “The inestimable cost of
lost productivity by damaged
individuals unable to function
fully, if at all, of lost psychic
identities and even loss of lives
must be considered. Think of
the millions of women who
live with violence and the fear
of violence. They lose their
sense of identity which has
been eroded to the point where
they accept the contaminated
version of reality dictated by
OPENING SOON
their abusers” (“Creating
Violence-Free
Families,”
Bahá’í
International
Community, May 1994).
“Turning Point For All
Nations” says, “Women will
not be safe until a new social
conscience takes hold, one
which will make the mere
expression of condescending
attitudes towards women, let
alone any form of physical vio-
lence, a cause for deep shame”
(Bahá’í
International
Community, October 1995).
The Spirituali-Tea gathering
will end at 8 p.m. with prayers
for the requests left in the
Prayer Pole in the garden of the
Florence Playhouse and those
shared by the group.
