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.
('Abdu'l-Bahá:
Paris Talks, Pages: 133 - 134)
Drumming and dance were features at the Afro-Descendants Gathering in Brazil.

Congolese who had become Bahá'ís in Rwanda and Burundi moved back to settle in their home provinces.
The first Local Spiritual Assembly was elected in 1957, and there are now 541 assemblies. The first National Spiritual Assembly formed in 1970.
