NOTE: this thread is in the Religions Q&A forum. It’s a question for Baha’is, but I don’t think that excludes friendly questions and comments from other people.
My answer to the question that I’m asking is that I’m a member of the worldwide Baha’i Faith community because I think that I can serve Bahá’u’lláh’s purposes better as a member than I could otherwise. I’m thinking of that community as a way for followers of Bahá’u’lláh to practice Baha’u’llah’s prescriptions for society. I know that different Baha’is have different views about what the Baha’i Faith is. For example, one way that Baha’is think about it might be that’s it’s part what the world needs now, for peace, justice and happiness for all people. They might think that there will be more progress towards peace, justice and happiness for all people, when more people believe what Baha’is believe. Another view I’ve seen is that the Baha’i Faith is just a religion like any other, serving some psychological and social needs in ways that are good for some people but not for others. I’d like to know more about what Baha’is posting here think about the Baha’i Faith. What is the Baha’i Faith to you?
