Baha'i Principles

The principles of the Bahá'í Faith were established by Bahá'u'lláh, the Founder of the Faith, in the latter half of the nineteenth century and promulgated by His Son and appointed successor, 'Abdu'l-Bahá during a tireless twenty -nine year ministry. While on an historic teaching trip in 1912 throughout the United States and Canada, 'Abdu'l-Bahá explained Bahá'u'lláh's Teachings to audiences of infinitely varied backgrounds. Many of His talks included discussions of such Bahá'í principles as:

   The oneness of mankind

   Universal peace upheld by a world government

   Independent investigation of truth

   The common foundation of all religions

   The essential harmony of science and religion

   Equality of men and women

   Elimination of prejudice of all kinds

   Universal compulsory education

   A spiritual solution to the economic problem

   A universal auxiliary language
