'I am walking my chosen highway. I know the destination.' 'Abdu'l-Bahá Sara, Lady Blomfield began to take written notes of the 'spoken chronicles' of the ladies of the Family of Bahá'ú'lláh during her first visit to Haifa in 1922.
Citizens of the World deals with the Baha’is and their religion. While covering the historical development in sufficient detail to serve as a general monograph on Baha’i, emphasis is laid on examining contemporary Baha’i, with the Danish Baha’i community as a recurrent case. The book discusses Baha’i religious texts, rituals, economy, everyday life, demographic development, mission strategies, leadership, and international activism in analyses based on primary material, such as interview studies among the Baha’is, fieldwork data from the Baha’i World Centre in Israel, and field trips around the world. The approach is a combination of history of religions and sociology of religion within a theoretical framework of religion and globalisation. Several general topics in the study of new religions are covered. The book contributes to the theoretical study of globalisation by proposing a new model for analysing globalisation and transnational religions.
This book explores the development of Islam and the Baha'i faith in the nineteenth century via the examination of two key reformers.
In this analysis of contemporary society, Michael Karlberg puts forward the thesis that our present 'culture of contest' is both socially unjust and ecologically unsustainable and that the surrounding 'culture of protest' is an inadequate response to the social and ecological problems it generates. The development of non-adversarial structures and practices is imperative.
An intimate glimpse into the life of Hand of the Cause Abu'l-Qasim Faizi, whose wisdom, candour, service, vision, humour and charisma caused Baha'is everywhere to love him. Hand of the Cause Abu l-Qasim Faizi was much loved by Baha'is around the world for his wisdom, candour and humour, for the quiet, unobtrusive ways in which he helped the needy, and for the courage and fortitude he instilled in believers, particularly in pioneers living in arduous conditions. His service to the Cause of Baha'u'llah, his life as a pioneer in a challenging part of the world, his commitment to assisting young people attain their potential, his inimitable charisma, his extraordinary capacity to love his fellow man, his unwavering, clear and totally focused aim in life are recalled in this personal account of his life, written by his daughter. Through his letters, stories, diaries and accounts, we receive an intimate glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of this spiritual giant as he served first Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith, and then the Universal House of Justice.
