The 1980s decade refers to the years 1980 to 1989, inclusive, of the standard Gregorian calendar. The decade saw the transition between the Third and Fourth Epochs of the Formative Age of the Bahá’í Faith, marked by the inauguration of the Six Year Plan and the increased responsibility placed on national communities to formulate their own goals within the framework of the Divine Plan. The entirety of the decade was within the Second Epoch of the Divine Plan.
