Before Mr. Dunbar's study class

Both of these photos were taken before Mr. Dunbar's class, which has been a fixture for youth serving at the Baha'i World Centre for more than 20 years. My Thursday night routine has been to work a little late, then visit the Shrine of the Báb, and walk down the bottom nine terraces to get to class. At that time, from 7 to 9 p.m. every night, the Shrine and terraces are bathed in light (see photo below), which has been done since the time of Shoghi Effendi, as a symbol of the days when the Báb was held in the mountain fortress of Makú, deprived of even a candle. My friend, Kent Chadwick (with the guitar above), lives in the same building where the class is held, so his flat has become a place for early-arrivals to hang out and participate in sing-alongs!
