The Baha'is of Chattanooga
welcome you
"This is the changeless faith of God, eternal in the past, eternal in the future."
One Human Family
The conviction that we belong to one human family is at the heart of the Bahá’í Faith. The principle of the oneness of humankind is “the pivot round which all the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh revolve”.
Bahá’u’lláh, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith, compared the world of humanity to the human body. Within this organism, billions of cells, diverse in form and function, play their part in maintaining a healthy system. The principle that governs the functioning of the body is cooperation and synergy. Its various parts do not compete for resources; rather, each cell, from its inception, is linked to a continuous process of giving and receiving. The parts cooperating as a whole advances a new creation. Acceptance of the oneness of humanity demands that prejudice—whether racial, religious, or gender related—must be totally eliminated.
“There is perfect brotherhood underlying humanity, for all are servants of one God and belong to one family under the protection of divine providence.”
