Baha'i Association

About the Baha'i Association

The Baha'i Association works to promote racial unity, equality of men and women, and world citizenship through the tenets of the Baha'i Faith.

The Baha'i Faith is a world religion based on the teachings of Baha’u’llah. He explained that there is only one God and one human family, and that all religions are spiritually united. Baha’u’llah’s writings offer spiritual guidance as well as directives for personal and social conduct.

The more than five million Baha'i's around the world are engaged in the process of learning how to translate that guidance into realities of individual and community life. Though they come from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, they are united by their belief in Baha’u’llah and by their desire for a united, prosperous, and peaceful future for all of humanity.

"Consort with the followers of all religions in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship. The religion of God is for love and unity; make it not the cause of enmity or dissension." - Bahau'llah

The Silent Auction was fun and productive. We met our Prescott community goal of raising $500.00 to contribute to the building of the new Baha'i House of Worship in Chile. We are contributing over $1700.00 this year. The Chilean Temple is the last of the continental temples to be built, and only Baha'is can contribute to the Baha'i Fund.
