Baha'is of Summerland, BC

Baha'is of Summerland, BC The Bahá'í Faith is a religion founded by Bahá'u'lláh in 19th-century Persia, emphasizing the spiritual unity of all humankind.

Bahá’ís recognize the coming of Bahá'u'lláh as the latest expression of God's guidance, opening the way for the establishment of peace and reconciliation, when, as anticipated in the sacred scriptures of the past, all humanity will achieve its spiritual and social maturity, and live in harmony and in accordance with justice. The more than five million Bahá’ís around the world are learning how to t

ranslate Bahá'u'lláh's teachings into new patterns of individual and community life. Though they come from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, they are united by their belief in the essential spiritual nature of our existence and by their desire for a just and peaceful future for all peoples.

The Promise of World Peace: This statement merits a large-scale study-discussion group on Zoom… we didn’t have this technology back in 1985. Today it is more timely than ever, especially paragraph 2. It should go viral…

“Whether peace is to be reached only after unimaginable horrors precipitated by humanity’s stubborn clinging to old patterns of behaviour, or is to be embraced now by an act of consultative will, is the choice before all who inhabit the earth. At this critical juncture when the intractable problems confronting nations have been fused into one common concern for the whole world, failure to stem the tide of conflict and disorder would be unconscionably irresponsible.”
