Membership in the George Town Baha'i Group is open to all who live in
the George Town municipality. For those living outside George Town,
they can join the Baha'i Faith in the municipality where they live. A
person becomes a Bahá’í by recognizing Bahá’u’lláh as the Messenger of
God for this age and accepting to follow His laws and teachings and the
administrative institutions He established for the unification of
humankind. People enroll in a Bahá’í community by signifying such
belief and commitment, orally or in writing, to the responsible Bahá'í
institution, in this case, the Regional Council for South-East Australia or the Local Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of West Tamar. This
is formalized on a small card called a Declaration Card. This card is
then sent to the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of
Australia Inc., 173 Mona Vale Road, Ingleside, NSW, 2101.(Tel: (02)
9998 9222 with a copy to the Regional Baha'i Council for Tasmania PO
Box 1126, GPO Hobart, 7001.
--------------------------- The George Town Baha'i Group serves the George Town municipality; other
Baha'i communities in Tasmania from time to time are also served by
George Town Baha'is. Several more frequently served Baha'i communities
by George Town Baha'is are: Launceston, West Tamar, Dorset, Meander and
Devonport. Occasionally, local George Town Baha'is also attend regional
functions in the Hobart area at the new Baha'i Centre of Learning.
National functions in any one of the several main Australian cities and
international functions at many places around the world are also part
of annual activities in this global organization with some 120,000
localities around the world.
