Profusive apologies for not communicating sooner. I lost my login details and have only managed to retrieve them.

The vigil was at St Andrew's on the Terrace, Wellington, New Zealand.

It was held on Sunday 13th of June in the evening.

Will be putting up shortly photos and info on the NZ National Interfaith Forums 2011 and a meeting with Swamiji from Yoga in Daily Life NZ.

With peace,

Lachlan

I host a multifaith internet radio show -- Women of Prayer -- which will launch October 4, 2010. I am looking for dynamic souls to dialogue with. The chance to connect with anyone from your organization -- to talk about various practices of prayer -- would be a great honor.

At 1:21pm on June 25, 2010, Sean Rayshel said…: Thank you. The wonderful people here truly care and could share with their co-religionists what looks like a precursor to genocide of the Baha'i Faith in Iran. The Iranian Government is taking the Nazi blueprint for the persecution of the Jews and Roma people and are using it against the Baha'is. If ever there is a doubt that myself or other Baha'is are not concerned about similar persecution of other religions please let them ask themselves "who is going to stand up for the Baha'is in Iran?". Our media is very distracted in our countries, 400,000 people is nothing compared to other genocides. The Parliament of World Religions is a divine institution in my humble opinion, I am very happy to see such diversity and wonderful dialogue here.

15 Countries Improving Religious Freedom

“Religious Freedom Under Attack” headed a recent L.A. Times editorial. Narrowing down to only short-circuiting nations, the column exposed merely the harshest facts in a new government report which also had a little light to shine for world interfaith development.Of course, it would be neglectful of the media to ignore the current religious climate. One ongoing crisis in this camp is the Bahai’s worldwide protest efforts amping up against Iranian courts for jailing seven leaders for more than…See More
