| Spiritual Assembly
of the Bahais of Brent |
The Bahá’í Faith is the
youngest of the world’s independent religions. Its founder,
Bahá’u’lláh (1817-1892), is regarded by Bahá’ís as the most recent
in the line of Messengers of God that stretches back beyond
recorded time and that includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Zoroaster,
Christ and Muhammad. The central
theme of Bahá’u’lláh’s message is that humanity is one single race
and that the day has come for its unification in one global
society. God, Bahá’u’lláh said, has set in motion historical forces
that are breaking down traditional barriers of race, class, creed,
and nation and that will, in time, give birth to a universal
civilization. The principal challenge facing the peoples of the
earth is to accept the fact of their oneness and to assist the
processes of unification. One of the
purposes of the Bahá’í Faith is to help make this possible. A
worldwide community of some five million Bahá’ís, representative of
most of the nations, races and cultures on earth, is working to
give Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings practical effect. Their experience
will be a source of encouragement to all who share their vision of
humanity as one global family and the earth as one
homeland. |
