Counsel
Our hope is that the world's religious leaders and
the rulers thereof will unitedly arise for the
reformation of this age and the rehabilitation of
its fortunes. Let them, after meditating on its
needs, take counsel together and, through anxious
and full deliberation, administer to a diseased and
sorely-afflicted world the remedy it requireth. The
Great Being saith: The heaven of divine wisdom is
illumined with the two luminaries of consultation
and compassion. Take ye counsel together in all
matters, inasmuch as consultation is the lamp of
guidance which leadeth the way, and is the bestower
of understanding.
-Baha'u'llah

The
Promise For Man
By
Robert Kogan
Robert attended a Baha’i Winter School in the
Southwest in 1964. It was his very first experience
being with a large group of Baha’is. It impressed
him enough to continue his search for religious truth.

As
a gathering place for prayer and meditation,
Baha'i Houses of Worship are the religious
buildings that most closely approximate the role
of the church, the temple or the mosque. Yet they
are also something more. >
