About the Baha'i Faith

The Baha'i Faith is the youngest of the world's independent religions. It teaches that there is one God, that the great religions are chapters in one unfolding story, and that humanity is one family learning to live as one.

Baha'is have no clergy. Local communities are led by a council elected each year by secret ballot, with no campaigning. There are around eight million Baha'is in nearly every country on earth.
