Guidelines

• Post Bahá'í news. Articles that simply mention the Bahá'í Faith in passing, but which are not specifically about it or about Bahá'ís, are not appropriate here.

• Post recent news. Articles, video, or podcasts are all fine, as long as they're fairly recent (4–6 months at most).

• Prefer reliable sources. We'll be working on a better system to classify news sources, but for now, try to post links to reliable media outlets. Articles posted from blogs should always note their sources so that readers can independently verify them.

Primary source material

Reliable sources for the Bahá'í Writings, letters from Bahá'í Institutions, and more.

• The Universal House of Justice - International governing council of the Bahá'í Faith
