Current Plan Goals
"The series of global Plans that began at Riḍván will last a full twenty-five years. It will carry the ark of the Cause into the third century of the Bahá’í Era and conclude at Riḍván 2046. During this period, the Bahá’í world will be focused on a single aim: the release of the society building power of the Faith in ever-greater measures."
Historical Context
At the beginning of the last Five Year Plan, the Atlantic Region had three clusters that were sustaining 100 or more core activities. Quickly, we set out to ensure that every grouping in each subregion had such a cluster, one that could serve as a reservoir of human resources and experience.
As the work in neighborhoods became the focus of attention, the next horizon became increasingly clear: to increase the number of centers of intense activity. Every cluster past the Second Milestone would need to establish such a center, and all clusters past the Third Milestone would have to develop the capacity to sustain multiple centers.
The National Spiritual Assembly’s call for every household to establish a regular devotional gathering appear to have stimulated greater focus and attention among the generality of the friends on the exigencies of the Plan, significantly increasing the number of devotional gatherings and their corresponding participation. The next step is to build the capacity of those involved in every devotional space to invite others into the Training Institute, drawing on a sequence of capacities described in the 3 May 2018 letter of the International Teaching Center.
