“Do not be content with showing friendship in words alone, let your heart burn with loving kindness for all who may cross your path."
The Bahá’í Writings speak of the twofold moral purpose that every person has in their life: to better themselves, and to better the society around them. Because of this, the Baha’i approach to social transformation differs from most contemporary approaches, focusing less on material resources and more on the core of social change - the people. Our community is one of learning and action, free from any sense of superiority or claim to exclusive understanding of truth. We strive to cultivate hope for the future of humanity, to foster purposeful effort, and to celebrate the endeavours of all those in the world who work to promote unity and alleviate human suffering. Together we are striving to build a community that demonstrates practical solutions to the challenges of modern society.

All of the teachings of the Bahá'í Faith revolve around one central principle: that all of humanity was created as a single unit, like a family. Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, infused this principle into all of the spiritual concepts and social activities of the Faith.
The oneness of humanity sounds simple, but has profound implications when we explore the countless dimensions and layers of oneness. |
In neighborhoods across the country, Baha’is and their friends are engaged in a community building process that cultivates love and translates it into action.

The Bahá’í Faith is established in more than 100,000 localities in virtually every country & territory around the world.
