William Sears Bahá'í School
William Sears Bahá'í School is a seasonal Baha'i school, one of many located throughout the United States. It offers family-oriented classes and activities designed to support individual spiritual growth and Bahá'í community life. Lodging and meals are available, as well as a variety of recreational opportunities.
Who was William Sears?
William Sears, born in 1911 in nearby Aitkin, Minnesota, loved the north woods but was destined to travel the world as a Hand of the Cause of God. This lifetime appointment, whose main function was to propagate and protect the Bahá'í Faith on an international level, lasted until his passing in 1992. The William Sears Bahá'í School is both a tribute and a promise to Mr. Sears of dedication to spreading the message of Bahá'u'lláh and living the Bahá'í life.
New Name!
William Sears Bahá'í School's name has been shortened, but still reflects our “Great North Woods” atmosphere, streamlines our communication and continues to honor Mr. Sears. Our move to Long Lake Conservation Center, near his birthplace, reinforces both our commitment to the environment and Mr. Sears’ love of the north woods.
What is the Bahá'í Faith?
The Bahá'í Faith is the youngest of the world's independent religions. Its founder, Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892), is regarded by Bahá'ís as the most recent in the line of Messengers of God that stretches back beyond recorded time and that includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad.
The central theme of Bahá'u'lláh's message is that humanity is one single race and that the day has come for its unification in one global society. God, Bahá'u'lláh said, has set in motion historical forces that are breaking down traditional barriers of race, class, creed, and nation and that will, in time, give birth to a universal civilization. The principal challenge facing the peoples of the earth is to accept the fact of their oneness and to assist the processes of unification.
One of the purposes of the Bahá'í Faith is to help make this possible. A worldwide community of some five million Bahá'ís, representative of most of the nations, races and cultures on earth, is working to give Bahá'u'lláh's teachings practical effect. Their experience will be a source of encouragement to all who share their vision of humanity as one global family and the earth as one homeland.
