The Path to Universal Peace – an invitation

Posted in Baha'i Perspectives, tagged , on November 28, 2023| Leave a Comment »

Bahá’ís believe that world peace is not only possible but inevitable.

“The Great Peace towards which people of goodwill throughout the centuries have inclined their hearts, of which seers and poets for countless generations have expressed their vision, and for which from age to age the sacred scriptures of mankind have constantly held the promise, is now at long last within the reach of the nations.”

In January 2024, the Maidenhead Bahá’í community will be hosting three Sunday afternoon presentations and discussions on the theme of universal peace.

Interfaith New Horizons: Peace Through Religious Unity

Posted in Interfaith New Horizons, tagged , on February 5, 2015| Leave a Comment »

Members of the Maidenhead’s faith communities – together with others with no religious affiliation – this week completed a series of four discussion evenings on religion and peace.

Participants have aged from 17 to 75 years – and included agnostics as well as members of Christian, Sikh, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Quaker and Bahá’í communities.

Study group participants – week 2

 

Organised by the Bahá’í community of Maidenhead, the evenings were hosted by St Mark’s Crescent Methodist Church.

Participants studied together and reflected upon a letter to the world’s religious leaders from the international governing body of the worldwide Bahá’í community. The letter, published in 2002, analyses the roots of religious prejudice and conflict, and sets out principles to enable organised religion to play its part in building a peaceful, just and prosperous world for all.

There is more on the letter and its impact here. The full text of the letter is available to download here .
