Prayer and Screening in Rochester, NY

April 29, 2017

Prayer and Screening in Rochester, NY

Upon invitation by the local Baha’i group we visited Rochester in Upstate New York. Jemeul Thompson and his family welcomed us with a wonderful home cooked lunch and showed us around. We learned that the city was home to Frederick Douglass, human rights leader in the anti-slavery movement and the first African-American citizen to hold a high U.S. government rank.

Situated at the South shore of Lake Ontario, the Rochester area has been the birthplace to such corporations as Kodak, Bausch & Lomb, Gleason and Xerox that conduct extensive research and manufacturing of hight tech products.

 

 

 

 

 

We were impressed by the waterfall in the middle of the city that harbors a mill for flour and mustard seeds.

The Peace Experience Documentary was then shown at the Baha’i Center, followed by a discussion, fellowship and an impromptu gathering with prayers, songs and meditation for Peace & Love within and without.

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you everyone for attending and making our stay so magnificent. A special thanks goes to Jemeul and Miah for the amazing organization and for so warmly welcoming us.
