DRC: House of Worship embraces all | BWNS

The Bahá’í House of Worship in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has now opened its doors to the public, following a joyous dedication ceremony over 2,000 guests from across the country and beyond.

Over the two days of the gathering, participants learned about the unifying vision of the House of Worship through artistic presentations and remarks. On the final day of the ceremony, Counsellors Agatha Gaisie-Nketsiah and Alain Pierre Djoulde delivered comments on behalf of the Counsellors in Africa, emphasizing the inspiring resilience displayed throughout the journey toward the temple’s completion.

Their comments drew parallels between the qualities embodied on this journey and the House of Worship’s enduring mission: the promotion of peace amid adversity, unwavering dedication to service, and dedication to the welfare of one’s fellow citizens.

The message read, in part: “The unquenchable determination and resilience of your people, despite the various forms of oppression and conflict that have devastated your land, has been remarkable for all to witness.”
