THE CALL OF BAHÁ'U'LLÁH
A pivotal concept in the Bahá’í teachings is that the refinement of one's inner character and service to humanity are inseparable facets of life
The family unit is the nucleus of human society. Classes, open to all, for the spiritual and moral education of children so they can then assume responsibility for their own spiritual growth and participation in the advancement of civilization.
Prayer is integral to Bahá’í life. Bahá’ís host gatherings in which friends, Bahá’ís and others alike, unite together in prayer, often in one another’s homes.

The Bahá'í Faith
Throughout history, God has sent to humanity a series of divine Educators—known as Manifestations of God—whose teachings have provided the basis for the advancement of civilization. These Manifestations have included Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad. Bahá’u’lláh, the latest of these Messengers, explained that the religions of the world come from the same Source and are in essence successive chapters of one religion from God.
Bahá’ís believe the crucial need facing humanity is to find a unifying vision of the future of society and of the nature and purpose of life. Such a vision unfolds in the writings of Bahá’u’lláh.
