Baha'i Educational Meetings or Firesides:
Baha’is also host "firesides" — informal gatherings in their homes, where short talks and discussions about the faith are shared in a warm and hospitable atmosphere. Firesides provide an open setting for asking questions and learning more about the Baha'i Faith.
Educational meetings or "deepenings" are also used to read uplifting Scripture from the Baha'i Faith and other faiths and to discuss universal spiritual topics. Often, a brief history of the Baha'i Faith is provided if the participants would like more information. The gatherings include time for questions and comments and usually close with refreshments.

"Let them look not upon a man's colour but upon his heart. If the heart be filled with light, that man is nigh unto the threshold of his Lord; but if not, that man is careless of his Lord, be he white or be he black."
