The Bahá’í Faith is the youngest of the world’s independent religions. Among the many Bahá’í principles are the following:

the unity of the races and elimination of prejudice, the equality of women and men, universal education, the elimination of extremes of wealth and poverty, a spiritual solution to economic problems, the harmony of science and religion, the independent investigation of truth, the creation of a world commonwealth of nations that will keep the peace through collective security.

Equal in strength?

Thames Valley Bahá’ís discussed Men and Women at their recent ‘Time to Unwind’ prayer and meditation devotional evening on Wednesday 1 June in Newbury. 

Bahá’ís are taught, in the words of Abdu’l-Baha, that: “And let it be known once more that until woman and man recognise and realise equality, social and political progress here or anywhere will not be possible . . .

“Until these two members are equal in strength, the oneness of humanity cannot be established, and the happiness and felicity of mankind will not be a reality.” (From Abdu’l-Baha: Promulgation of Universal Peace, pp. 76-77)
