Exploring race unity

‘Race Unity’ – what does it mean to you? Following on from Race Unity Day in June, we thought it would be a good idea to explore this subject a little more.

West Berkshire Baha’i Myra ErbenovaWest Berkshire Baha’i Myra Erbenova said: “Bahá’u’lláh brought new spiritual and social teachings for our time – his essential message is of unity. He taught the oneness of God, the oneness of the human family, and the oneness of religion. Bahá’u’lláh challenges us to think about why we were all created from the same substance. “

In ‘The Hidden Words of Bahá’u’lláh’, we learn that ‘…..it is incumbent on you to be even as one soul, to walk with the same feet, eat with the same mouth and dwell in the same land, that from your inmost being, by your deeds and actions, the signs of oneness and the essence of detachment may be made manifest.’
