Anchor of Faith: The Enduring Spirit of the Black Men’s Gathering

Born of the need to address the plight of men of African descent in the United States, and the unique afflictions imposed upon them, the Black Men’s Gathering was founded in 1987 by a small group of Baha'is. From its humble origins in a Greensboro hotel room where the original twelve participants met, the Gathering would grow and evolve over the course of a quarter-century to embrace hundreds in an atmosphere of love, fellowship, and devotion. Anchor of Faith gives us a glimpse of the vibrant spirit of the Gathering, details its history, evolution, and influence, and brings to light the countless avenues of service pursued by its participants both at home and across the globe.
