Here are, very briefly explained, some of the principles
of Bahá’u’lláh.
In short, it behoves us all to be lovers of
truth. Let us seek her in every season and in every country, being careful
never to attach ourselves to personalities. Let us see the light wherever it shines,
and may we be enabled to recognize the light of truth no matter where
it may arise. Let us inhale the perfume of the rose from the midst
of thorns which surround it; let us drink the running water from every pure spring.

Paris Talks, Pages: 133 - 134)

HAIFA, Israel — In a ceremony that combined spiritual dignity with global diversity, a thousand Bahá’ís from 153 countries cast ballots today in an election to choose the nine members of the Universal House of Justice, the international governing body of the Bahá’í Faith.
For nearly three hours, delegates to the 10th International Bahá’í Convention filed decorously, one by one, onto a majestically adorned stage, each dropping a ballot into a simple wooden box.
The votes will be tallied overnight and the results announced here tomorrow.
The event was a study in globalism, a hallmark of the Bahá’í Faith, which has some five million followers and is established in virtually every nation.
Delegates were called by name, in alphabetical order by country. Many proudly wore traditional or native dress, an acknowledgment of their belief in the concept of unity in diversity.
