Gatherings of Bahá'ís and, often, their friends for
devotions and fellowship and the promotion of unity. The unity feast is
usually based on the format of the Nineteen Day Feast, but has no
administrative status or function. The consultative part of the Feast is
either omitted in the unity feast or replaced with some other activity, such as a study of the Writings or a fireside. A Nineteen Day Feast
where a non-Bahá'í is present, and where consequently the consultative
and administrative part of the Feast is excluded, is often referred to as a
unity feast. |
