Diversity
Diversity of expression and creative give and take are essential aspects of Bahá’í community development. Without diversity, unity is impossibleonly uniformity can be the result. For this reason, individual exploration of the Bahá’í teachings is valued for its potential contribution to community discourse and advancement. Here, the Internet affords novel ways of fostering such investigation and learning. The individual search for knowledge and truth, however, cannot be allowed to become a source of disunity or disagreement among Bahá’ís or between Bahá’ís and those studying the Faith.

Quote of the Day
Jamal 1 Azamat 183 B.E.
Just as man has been physically born into this world, he may be reborn from the realm and matrix of nature, for the realm of nature is a condition of animalism, darkness and defect.
