A Bahá’í Perspective on Interfaith Relations

The Bahá’í Faith is all about unity: the unity of God, the unity of religion, and the unity of mankind. It aims to unite the peoples of the world, of every nation, race, class, and creed. How is this supposed to happen? Is unity some magical moment, singing “Kumbaya”? Or are there practical and theological principles involved? How are religions supposed to stay true to their core beliefs and at the same time become unified with one another? This talk will explore these questions and begin to provide some useful insights on how to move forward.
