"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."
