Unity-- Baha'i Viewpoint
The unity of the Baha'is gives me hope.
.
Art by Amorosa
Unity is an overwhelming proposition for our planet.
It is, Baha'i's believe, the most important issue facing us.
Without it , there is little hope.
With unity, all our world's problems could be solved...
Unity, the Baha'i's say, is the key and necessary piece that can enable us to fully meet the challenges of today's need for a just unity that allows plenty of room for diversity. A major paradigm shift, on both large and small levels, is required for the integration of unity into a truly new international pattern. The Baha'is believe that such a shift cannot and will not come about on the shoulders of human effort alone; a powerful, spiritual or emotional influence must needs play a vital role, and must be introduced in a compelling, thoughtful, inclusive way. It may be that this emerging Faith, with its global and practical experience, powerful teachings, and connection to the divine, has the vitality, motivation, and inspiration to bring what is needed to the table of peace.

It gives me hope...
Baha'i is the first religion to so greatly focus on Unity. It is their "watchword." To heal the Spirits, the oneness of the faiths must be upraised. That can help to purify religion for its role in unity. |
Baha'is believe that religion, historically the basis of our laws and civilizations, is a great tool of power, when put to its rightful, harmonizing purpose. For today, that purpose must be to galvanize, inspire, and steady the people for a cooperation previously thought impossible.
Unity is vital in moving to the next challenging level in the healing of our world.
The unity of the Baha'is is being perfected day by day, as surely as their diversity is held dear and precious.
"Unity in diversity" is the watchword under which Baha'is march.
There is much to be learned, and much hope to be gleaned from a Faith that has opened its doors worldwide and proclaimed its methods, governance and community, "a model for study".*

Religion,
Spirit's eternal Vessel and its historic Strength, must be healed of the abuses of men. That work is now in progress. Tremendous Power for Unity is held within the bastions of the Faiths...* |

Could there be really be a religion that could help to heal and unify the world?
"That's ridiculous!" you say, for religion has ever been a cause of disunity.
It has generated great enmity and countless sects, power plays and disagreements among its adherents.
The Prophet Baha'u'llah Himself agreed on that point. He rebuked the priests for perpetrating misconceptions and abuses in religion's name.The Baha'i writings clear up much on this, and form a powerful basis for a healing and healthy re-creation of our concept of "religion", reuniting it with Spirit for all time.
Baha'is believe a new Day has opened. A unique, independent religion, this diverse, worldwide Faith accepts, reveres and builds on the previous Great religions of the world; offers a working, workable, worldwide, administrative model of unity clearly akin to "one soul in many bodies", and demonstrates the powerful potential therein.
