Learning from ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in a Society Characterized by Ageism with Dr. Deborah van den Hoonaard Bahá’ís the world over see ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, the son of the founder for the Bahá’í Faith (1844-1921) as the Exemplar of how we should live. After being in prison and exile for over 55 years, He undertook travels to the West and spoke in hundreds of venues and with thousands of people. However, we don’t often think about, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá after His release from prison, as an old man. This presentation explores how ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s example informs our own lives given the prevalence of ageism in Western society.
