Finding Truth, Together (Free Event)

Are we facing a crisis of truthfulness?

Given our unique and diverse experiences and perspectives, is it still possible to reach a collective understanding of what is “true” and to establish a basis for determining truth? And how can we actively seek and recognize what is true, beyond just relying on conventional wisdom, tradition, superstition, or our own personal beliefs?

Truth is an anchor to reality, rooting us in the midst of chaos and providing direction for a path forward. But while access to information has greatly increased, it seems increasingly difficult to distinguish facts from opinions or falsehoods. Far beyond being just a political problem, it seems to extend into almost every part of our society and culture. Could our ability to discern truth depend in part on certain spiritual qualities like humility and detachment, complementing our senses, our mind, and intellectual training? What is the relationship of truth to justice? Are there tools that can help us seek and find the truth, not only as individuals but collectively as a society?

Come join a different kind of conversation – one that welcomes every perspective in a search for the truths that unite us all – as we discuss the Bahá’í Teachings' perspective on the spiritual solutions for seeking the truth. Join us for a lively discussion as we explore how to apply spiritual principles of finding collective truth to benefit our lives and our communities.

“Truth has many aspects, but it remains always and forever one.” – Bahá’í Teachings
