First I want to tell you a quick story about a city. My city. Then well talk about what it can mean for the growth of your local Bahai community.
{josquote}Many older Bahais think back longingly on the 60s and 70s as a kind of golden era when the community was bigger, more energetic, and it was changing the world.{/josquote}My wife and I recently moved to Jersey City, New Jersey, so close to Manhattan that were staring it in the face every morning when we wake up. JC is the definition of an up-and-coming town there are a handful of high-rises under construction at any given time, there are tempting new restaurant options every time we walk over by Grove Street, and tens of thousands of new people like us making it home.
