Emerging Unity of Thought on "Ennobling Leadership"

Saturday August 2, 2025 2:00pm - 3:15pm MDT

Macleod A4

One of the prevalent discourses of society involves the bankruptcy of old conceptions of power and leadership and the need for a new paradigm. The Writings of the Faith, especially those of Abdu’l-Baha have many constructive ideas to offer. It is heartening to observe that even as the old world order rapidly unravels, glimmerings of new concepts of power and leadership aligned with the Writings are emerging in various academic, business, and spaces concerned with societal governance at all levels. This growing convergence points to the appearance of Abdu’l-Baha’s second candle of unity: unity of thought in world undertakings.
