Documents are available in English and German. We display documents in their original format and also display a text layer for search purposes. As time and resources allow, we proofread these text copies. If you would like to help please consider proofreading text or sending us documents for digitization. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed Faith is an independent world religion founded in the mid 1800's by Bah\u00e1\u2019u\u2019ll\u00e1h that offers teachings meant to unify mankind and renew the spiritual character of the individual and society.
