Here's the latest article from the Baha'i site at BellaOnline.com, in response to a question about whether Bahá'ís celebrate halloween--which is that it is not as a religious one, but often enjoyed with family and friends and neighbors.
The other reason for this newsletter is a (we hope final) check of the BellaOnline email systems.
