Introduction to the Baha'i Faith
In just over a hundred and fifty years the Bahá'í Faith has become the world's second most widespread religion after Christianity. It has had a presence in the United Kingdom for more than a century and Bahá'ís here are playing their part as members of this vibrant and growing religious community dedicated to promoting the oneness of all humankind. The Faith has no clergy, or individuals in positions of personal leadership, and is administered by elected bodies at local, national and international levels. Our National Spiritual Assembly was one of the first to be established, in 1923 For further details please contact the secretery of the Bahá’is of Havant:
"So it will come to pass that when women participate fully and equally in the affairs of the world, when they enter confidently and capably the great arena of laws and politics, war will cease." -- 'Abdu'l-Bahá (one of the central figures of the Bahá'i faith). Extracts from the Bahá'i World |
