The Baha'i Faith - Unity in Diversity.

The Baha'i Faith is an independent world religion, dedicated to the unification of humankind.

Baha'is are confident that humanity's current social, economic and spiritual problems are but the birth-pangs of an emerging new world society. This society will take the form of a united commonwealth of nations, leading all peoples into a golden age.

Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith taught that in this future world society, cultural diversity will be encouraged, protected and appreciated. It is this diversity that will add immensely to the quality and richness of human existence - once the influence of racial and national prejudices have been removed.

The concept of unity in diversity is one of the principal Teachings of the Baha'i Faith and forms a major part of the foundations upon which must rest the future of humanity.
