Travelling to the EBBF Conference
Work done in the spirit of service is worship.
`Abdu’l-Baha, Baha’i writings
I am off to Depoort Conference Centre in the Netherlands for the Annual European Baha’i Business Forum (EBBF) Conference, so may not get a chance to blog until I get back. We have about 165 registered from all over the world. Our theme this year is `Work: From Survival to Fulfilment’.
EBBF is a professional, non-profit association of women and men who practise and promote moral and ethical values in business.
Why am I going? Have a look at this quotation from `Abdu’l-Baha:
The members of each profession, such as in industry, should consult, and those in commerce should similarly consult on business affairs.
And this one from Baha’u'llah:
Commerce is as a heaven, whose sun is trustworthiness and whose moon is truthfulness.
It’s a great time to meet people from all religions and none who have the same vision `to enhance the well-being and prosperity of humankind’ and who want to do this by promoting ethical values, personal virtues and moral leadership in business and in organisations of social change.
So while I’m travelling, have a look at our website and see what we are up to! And think about joining us. It’s business, Jim, but not as we know it!

You’re getting quite good at this blogging thing aren’t you?
Unfortunately, my belief forbids me from joining clubs that will have me as a member!:)
Have a safe journey,
