	5. THE BAHA'I COMMUNITY
		Bahá'ís, therefore, consider the Bahá'í administration as being sacred in nature and as integral a part of the Bahá'í Faith as the Bahá'í teachings; indeed the Bahá'í administration is seen as the incarnation of the spirit of the Bahá'í Faith.
		The central institution of this appointed arm of the Bahá'í administration is the International Teaching Centre, which is based in Haifa.
		The Bahá'í World Centre also consists of several buildings, which were the residences of Bahá'u'lláh and `Abdu'l-Bahá during their lives, and extensive gardens around these buildings.

	Portals to Freedom: Chapter 10
		The teachings of Bahá'u'lláh comprise a veritable Universe of wisdom.
		I have found in the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh and Abdu'l-Bahá much more satisfactory explanations of the meaning, the origin and the destiny of life, than I have elsewhere found.
		Again: Bahá'u'lláh asserted the principle that the human race is essentially of one stock and that the conception of "The Oneness of Humanity" is essential to modem civilization.

	Frank Schlatter - My Experience in Becoming an Orthodox Baha'i
		Unless Shoghi Effendi was an imposter there is no way to follow the teachings without joining the Orthodox Bahái's, for they are the true Baháis and they are upholding the World Order of Bahá'u'lláh as described by Shoghi Effendi in his many writings, including The Dispensation and his cablegrams.
		The Orthodox Bahái's I found to be normal people, and when I investigated the possibility of their documents being false found that the writings they study are the very same ones the heterodox Bahái's study.
		When he expressed his concern that the Hands had made a mistake by declaring the Guardianship at an end, I was determined to convince him of his mistake and dove deep into studying the writings, specifically the book The Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh by Taherzadeh.

	Book review: A Short History of the Bahá'í Faith
		Allowing that "all religions, including the Bahá'í Faith, will, to some extent, contain echoes of each other," Momen states his intent: "I hope to show that the Bahá'í Faith also has its own teachings that are new and innovative" (3).
		As an "engaged" scholar, Smith demonstrates that Bahá'ís are unafraid of their history but are still coming to terms with it, because the Báb of faith, and the Bahá'í popular view of the Bábí religion, have yet to be integrated and reconciled with historical and sociological considerations.
		Momen himself rightly classes Smith's A Short History of the Bahá'í Faith as "the best brief general history of the Bahá'í Faith" (147, giving 1995 as the publication date); Momen's A Short Introduction to the Bahá'í Faith has a similar status.

		Close relations between the royal families of Western Samoa and Tonga, and the high chiefs of Fiji, have resulted in members of these families either becoming Bahá'ís, or having intimate knowledge of the Bahá'í Teachings.
		Of particular significance have been the visits to other Polynesian royal and chiefly families by Princess Tosi Malietoa, daughter of the Western Samoan monarch.
		Lisiata Maka, born in 1920, a costing clerk, licensed lawyer, and legal adviser in Tonga's lower court and supreme court, having become a Bahá'í 1957, completed substantial translations of Bahá'í Scriptures into Tongan, and later assisted in obtaining legal incorporation for Local Assemblies in Tonga, and for the Suva-based Regional Assembly.

	RuhiResources.org - Resources for Baha'i Ruhi Tutors
		While Bahá'í religious teachings are part of the programme of child education in Bahá'í classes, the design of the programme, particularly the sequencing of content, may make it more attractive to non-Bahá'ís.
		Then, if attracted by the principles and general spiritual teachings, the non-Bahá'ís would not hesitate to engage in the full programme; alternatively, they are free to withdraw or not participate in some segments.
		As believers in each country advance through a sequence of courses and their skills and abilities are enhanced, the responsibility then falls on the institutions of the Faith to see that the energies, talents, and newly acquired skills of these friends are channeled in some form of active service to the Cause.

	Baha'u'llah and the New Era--Living the Life
		The man who lives the life according to the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh is already a Bahá'i.

		The suns of former days have warmed and vivified the world, and had those suns not shone, the earth would not be cold and dead, but it is the sunshine of today that alone can ripen the fruits which the suns of former days have kissed into life.

	Test All Things
		It does not save us from the stain of some original sin, nor does it protect us from some external evil force or devilsalvation in any age, Bah's believe, is to turn again towards God, to accept his Manifestation for that day, and to follow his teachings.

		Of particular sacred significance to Bah'is are calligraphic forms of the word Bah (Arabic for Glory), known as the Greatest Name, a reference to Bah'u'llh.

	Prolegomena to a Bahá'í Theology
		In making affirmations about God, Bahá'í theology employs a manifestation theology, that is, a theology of the metaphysical reality of the prophet or divine manifestation and his teachings rather than a theology of God.
		Bahá'í theology cannot be dogmatic in the normal sense of the word, that is, a final and duly perceived infallible doctrine imposed upon the believers by the institutions of religion.
		Bahá'í theology is, moreover, based in faith rooted in the person of Bahá'u'lláh and his divine revelation, has a strong metaphysical bias, eschews dogmatism, and welcomes diversity.

	Encyclopedia Article: The Covenant
		The Bahá'í Faith recognizes two covenants: first, the greater covenant, between God, represented by the Manifestation of God (q.v.), on the one hand, and humanity on the other, in which God promises to continue to send guidance to humankind, while humanity, on its part, promises to obey and follow these teachings when they come.
		The Bahá'í scriptures note and indeed emphasize the continuity of the theme of the greater covenant in the history of religion (or at least that of the Western religions).
		At present the institutions of the Bahá'í Faith are primarily responsible for dealing with any episodes of Covenant-breaking that arise, in particular the Hands of the Cause, the Continental Board of Counselors (q.v.), and their Auxiliary Boards.

		One of the teachings of the Bah' Faith is that in this dispensation there is no longer a need for a professional priesthood.
		This paper examines the three elements of Roman Catholic Priesthood Leadership, Teaching and Sacrament in an effort to explain to Bah's the theology of Priesthood and to demonstrate to Roman Catholics how many of the functions pertaining to the role of priests are being fulfilled in Bah' Administration.
		This issue is pertinent, considering the level of criticism of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy in recent years.

		Those who refuse to accept the validity of the claim of a Manifestation of God may be said to be breakers of the "greater covenant" but this is not the usual Bahá'í usage.
		The covenant that God made with Abraham that He would make Abraham the father of many nations and bless his descendants (Genesis 17:1-7, 18-21) is invoked when Bahá'u'lláh's ancestry is traced to the line of Abraham through Katurah.

	CHRONOLOGY OF GUARDIANSHIP
		By Charles Mason Remey: The principles and doctrines of the Baha'i Teachings are intended to meet the needs of this day and age, directing the energy of mankind constructively toward the advancement and general weal (well being) of the entire world of humanity.
		Remey planned to visit every one of our "goal" countries during his trip, and we know that this visit will be of the greatest assistance to the work everywhere.
		He also reported that he, (Mason Remey) and one of the secretaries of the International Bahá'í Council visited Jerusalem, where, in the course of several days, arrangements were made with the Ministry of Trade for receiving import licenses for the various materials to be used on the Shrine of the Bab.

	Encyclopedia Article: Progressive Revelation
		The Bahá'í scriptures do not assert that each revelation is overtly influenced by all the ones that went before it somewhere on earth; if that were the case, Jesus would refer to the Buddha and His teachings, and He clearly does not.
		Thus progressive revelation should not be seen as a detailed theory that explains all the features of religions, but as a framework within which Bahá'ís work to understand the different religions and their diversity.
		Since revelation is part of the world, thus it must also develop and change; and the progressive revealing of divine truth is one of the main causes for the progress of human civilization.

	Hands of the Cause of God in the Baha'i Faith

		November 1961: A conclave of the Hands of the Cause issued a call for the first election of teh Universal House of Justice to be held during Ridván 1963.
		Soon the Hands of the Cause of God assumed custodianship of the Faith's global affairs until election of the Universal House of Justice.

	History of the Bahá'í Faith in Japan: Chapter 7
		The Esperanto meetings were held in a school building, and there I spoke of the Bahá'í Teachings and Esperanto.
		A few years ago this body sent their approval of Esperanto being accepted as the universal language, to similar groups of educationalists in other countries, but their approval was not accepted by the others.
		A photograph which was taken of the Esperanto group that afternoon brought honor to the school, as it was published in three Bahá'í publications.

		To dissociate the administrative principles of the Cause from the purely spiritual and humanitarian teachings would be tantamount to a mutilation of the body of the Cause, a separation that can only result in the disintegration of its component parts, and the extinction of the Faith itself.
		Both in the administrative provisions of the Bah·'Ì Dispensation, and in the matter of succession, as embodied in the twin institutions of the House of Justice and of the Guardianship, the followers of Bah·'u'll·h can summon to their aid such irrefutable evidences of Divine Guidance that none can resist, that none can belittle or ignore.
		Theirs is not the purpose, while endeavoring to conduct and perfect the administrative affairs of their Faith, to violate, under any circumstances, the provisions of their country's constitution, much less to allow the machinery of their administration to supersede the government of their respective countries.

	Unity - the Central Baha'i Principle
		Biblical allusions to Christ's oneness with God, which historically have been taken by His followers as meaning that Jesus was God incarnate, are actually completely compatible with Bahá'u'lláh's very detailed teachings on the nature of the God and His Messengers.
		Bahá'ís often refer to these as "the three onenesses." They are unity of God, unity of religion, and unity of humanity.
		In the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh, the concept is primarily expressed in relation to three different topics.
