We are living in a time of both turbulence and great promise…It is incumbent upon all the peoples of the world to reconcile their differences, and, with perfect unity and peace, abide beneath the shadow of the Tree of His care and loving-kindness.” (A Spiritual Path to Unity & Social Justice: The Baha’i Faith in America)
The Founder of the most recent independent world religions identified one most important human need in all of His Books and Writings: unity. He said to all humanity: “Ye are all the leaves of one tree and the drops of one ocean.” This core Baha’i teaching takes a step beyond the Golden Rule. We tend to follow the principle: “treat others as you wish to be treated.” This has been paraphrased in the all the major religions. However, the primary principles of the Baha’i Faith call us to a higher level of understanding; that we are all a part of one unified reality, like the individual cells in all living things...
"The well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established.” ~ (Baha’u’llah)
In this meetup let’s explore ways that we can develop and maintain the kinds of cross-racial friendships needed to build and sustain a unified and peaceful society... People of all backgrounds, religions, and beliefs are welcome to respectfully share their perspectives.
