“See ye no strangers rather see all men as friends, for love and unity come hard when ye fix your gaze on otherness. … For each of the creatures is a sign of God, and it was by the grace of the Lord and His power that each did step into the world; therefore they are not strangers, but in the family; not aliens, but friends, and to be treated as such.”
“Ye are all fruits of one tree, the leaves of one branch, the flowers of one garden.”
The Bahá’í Faith
The Bahá’í Faith is an independent religion with over five million followers in more than 200 countries and territories. It is based on the spiritual and social teachings of Baha’u’llah, the most recent of the Divine Messengers.
The Baha'i Faith was first introduced to Ethiopia in 1933 by Sabrí Elias, who was an Egyptian Bahai. He served the Faith across Africa establishing the religion in Ethiopia and also pioneering in French Somaliland, now Djibouti.
Inspiring individuals to build vibrant communities
Bahai’s and well-wishers across the globe have been brought together in a series of conferences to consult on how to build vibrant communities in hopes of bringing about unity.
