Audio Talks & Lectures Over the years, countless formal and informal recordings have been made of talks and lectures given on the Baha'i Faith. While these talks represent the views of the speaker, they are nonetheless important to gaining yet another view of the Baha'i Faith. We will be constantly adding materials to this section. If you listen to a recording and feel that it is sub-par, please let us know since we don't always get a chance to listen to all the recordings in their entirety that we process.
