The Baha'i Faith is an independent world religion that was founded in 1844 and has been present in Australia since 1920. The Faith's central theme is that humanity is one family and the time has come for its unification into a peaceful global society.
Witnessing the spiritual capacity of the local community has been the “the most amazing experience” in the past year for a Bahá’í blogger contributing to ABC Open's Aftermath project.
The universe and all creatures and forces within it have been created by a single supernatural Being.
All of us, as creations of one God, are part of one human family, with no superior race, nation, ethnic or cultural group.
Full equality and a firm sense of partnership between women and men are essential to human progress and the transformation of society.
The fundamental obligation of human beings is to acquire knowledge and to "see with thine own eyes and not through the eyes of others".
Economic justice and prosperity will come about only when the essential connection between the spiritual and practical aspects of life is recognised.
God has revealed Himself throughout history by a succession of Divine Messengers, the Founders of the world religions, Whose purpose is to guide and educate humanity.
There can be no doubt whatever that the peoples of the world, of whatever race or religion, derive their inspiration from one heavenly Source, and are the subjects of one God. Baha'u'llah
