Welcome!
To the website of the Bahá'ís of Long Island, New York
Who
Are the Bahá'ís?
We are people
with hopes and dreams, with character strengths and weaknesses. We
are struggling daily with life’s challenges. We come from diverse
racial, cultural, religious, educational, and economic backgrounds.
We are women and men, young and old. We live in over 127,000
localities throughout the world.
Why
Have We Become Bahá'ís?
For many of us,
our search for meaning in life led us to the Bahá'í Faith. Not only did the Bahá'í Faith make sense to us, but it touched our hearts as
well. We discovered a loving, supportive Baha'i community with
teachings that educated and channeled our efforts to become nobler
people. We recognized that the Bahá'í Faith is the latest in a series of
Divine Revelations sent by God to humanity over the centuries and that
its teachings are particularly relevant to today’s world. Most
importantly, it has imparted a fresh infusion of spiritual power into the
world to transform humanity in order to create a just and peaceful world
civilization.
What
Is the Bahá'í Faith?
Among the
principles which the Bahá'í Faith promotes are:
the oneness of
humanity
the oneness of
religion
the elimination of
all forms of prejudice
the equality of
women and men
