“What is the Kingdom of God on Earth”
Friday, June 29, 2001—Day 2

Photo of main stage perfromers day 2Friday’s main session in US Cellular Arena answered the question “What Is the Kingdom of God on Earth” through stirring choral pieces; the Children’s Theatre Company speaking to God and reciting quotations on rights and equality; energetic step and interpretive dancing; and an address by Universal House of Justice member Peter Khan on “Emergence of the Kingdom.”

Photo of Dr. Peter KahnDr. Khan reminded us that we are the descendants of countless generations that have held alive the hope that a day would arrive in which harmony, unity and peace would reign. Unlike others today, however, Bahá’ís believe the Kingdom will come not through a single event but through a process of strenuous effort over a long period of time. We also believe, he said, in individual transformation in pursuit of societal change and that the ideal state is a dynamic, not static, one. Through immersion in the Writings we will acquire the needed vision, he said, and through firmness in the Covenant we will succeed where others of high ideals have failed.
