"In just over 100 years, the Bahá'í Faith [Founded by Bahá'u'lláh (1817 - 1892)] has grown from an obscure movement in the Middle East to the second-most widespread of the independent world religions. Embracing people from more than 2,100 ethnic, racial and tribal groups, it is quite likely the most diverse organized body of people on the planet. Its unity challenges prevailing theories about human nature and the prospects for our common future.The main theme of Bahá'u'lláh's message is unity. He taught that there is only one God, that all the world's religions represent one changeless and eternal Faith of God, and that all humanity is one race, destined to live in peace and harmony." -- Excerpted from The Bahá'ís, a publication of the Bahá'í International Community.
