Springfield Illinois Baha'i Faith

Springfield Illinois Baha'i Faith Baha'is are uniting with neighbors to release the power of the human spirit and cultivate vibrant communities as we walk together on a path of service.

There is one God Who progressively reveals His will to humanity. Each of the great religions brought by the Messengers of God -- Abraham, Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Zoroaster, Jesus, and Muhammad -- represents a successive stage in the development of civilization, each addressing the problems of their age. The major religions are like different chapters in the same book, are all from the same God, un

folding Divine truth to mankind over time consistent with our capacity to understand. Bahá'u'lláh, whose name translates in English to "The Glory Of God", is the most recent Messenger in this line and has brought teachings that address the moral, social, and spiritual challenges of the modern world. He is the founder of the Baha'i Faith and His main mission is unity, the oneness of humankind, and world peace. The Bahá'í Faith provides teachings and a structure through which universal peace can be obtained and established in this age.

"The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens." - Bahá'u'lláh

Unity in diversity—celebrating our oneness while honoring our beautiful differences. When we recognize the earth as one country, we don't erase what makes each culture, tradition, and individual unique. Instead, we see how our diversity strengthens the whole, like flowers in a garden that create beauty through their varied colors and forms. This vision calls us to build bridges that connect rather than walls that divide.

How can you celebrate both unity and diversity in your community today?

A great resource for religious/spiritual topics from the Baha’i point of view is a handbook prepared by Dr. David F. Young, currently on the Baha’i National Spiritual Assembly of the United States - Teaching Christians Effectively.
Specifically, answering the most common questions Christians ask regarding Baha’i beliefs. Its goal is to confirm to Christians that the Baha’i interpretation of the Bible is both Biblical and accurate. Google search “www.Bahai-library.com teaching Christians effectively”, and then download the pdf. The table of contents is very useful and so is the index at the end.

“VERILY I say, this is the Day in which mankind can behold the Face, and hear the Voice, of the Promised One.

The Call of God hath been raised, and the light of His countenance hath been lifted up upon men. It behooveth every man to blot out the trace of every idle word from the tablet of his heart, and to gaze, with an open and unbiased mind, on the signs of His Revelation, the proofs of His Mission, and the tokens of His glory.

Great indeed is this Day! The allusions made to it in all the sacred Scriptures as the Day of God attest its greatness. The soul of every Prophet of God, of every Divine Messenger, hath thirsted for this wondrous Day. All the divers kindreds of the earth have, likewise, yearned to attain it. No sooner, however, had the Daystar of His Revelation manifested itself in the heaven of God’s Will, than all, except those whom the Almighty was pleased to guide, were found dumbfounded and heedless.

O thou that hast remembered Me! The most grievous veil hath shut out the peoples of the earth from His glory, and hindered them from hearkening to His call. God grant that the light of unity may envelop the whole earth, and that the seal, “the Kingdom is God’s,” may be stamped upon the brow of all its peoples.

-Baha’u’llah
