At a time of worldwide change, conflict and uncertainty, humanity’s most urgent need is to find a unifying vision. Such a vision unfolds in the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, the Founder of the Bahá’í Faith. Bahá’u’lláh teaches that religion is the most powerful force for the transformation of society and individuals.
