youth workshops 3, 208-2091 Zambia 4, 113 Zimbabwe 140 [Page 316]In just over one hundred years, the Bahá’í Faith has grown from Lan obscure movement in the Middle East to the second-most widespread of the independent world religions. Embracing people from more than 2,100 ethnic, racial, and tribal groups, it is quite likely the most diverse organized body of people on the planet today. Its unity challenges prevailing theory about human nature and the prospects for our common future.

The Faith's central message is that of unity. Its Founder, Bahá’u’lláh, teaches that there is only one God, that there is only one human race, and that all the world's religions have been stages in the revelation of God's purpose for humankind. Today, humanity has collectively come of age: "The earth is but one country," Bahá’u’lláh asserts, "and mankind its citizens." The emergence of the Bahá’í community offers persuasive evidence that the human race, in all its diversity, can learn to live and work as a single people in its planetary homeland.

The Bahá’í World is the principal public record of the community's growth and development. The volumes reproduce major documents and provide statistical data and other detailed information on the Bahá’í Faith's wide-ranging program of activities, which are illustrated by many photographs and charts. In-depth articles focus on major areas of Bahá’í concern.

For the serious researcher and the general student alike, the dramatic growth of the Bahá’í Faith raises new and interesting questions about the role of religion in social development. The Bahá’í World is designed primarily to help answer these questions.
