Whatsoever hath led the children of men to shun one another, and hath caused dissensions and divisions amongst them, hath, through the revelation of these words, been nullified and abolished."
~Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 95
Baha'is have endured tremendous sacrifices since the birth of our Faith. Sixty years of the practice of shunning, causing us to fear being labeled a "violator of the Covenant" for simply exercising our right to unfettered search for truth, has divided us, misdirected us, weakened us, and dehumanized us until we're no longer effective Ambassadors of Baha'u'llah's Kingdom!!! Baha'u'llah's
Baha'u'llah's central spiritual message is that all humanity descends from the same Light. So why not try to go beyond what we're "sure" is certainty, and join others who, through Holy Spirit's assistance, are moving beyond division?
Let us shun our divisions. Let us stop labeling each other covenant-breakers. Let us stop slandering each other and UNITE under Guardian and consolidate the Mission of Baha’u’llah.
