Interfaith

From Bahai9
Jump to:navigation, search

One intelligent member from each of the varying religious systems should investigate reality of religion and establish an interreligious body for settling of differences[edit]

"We are considering the divine plan for the reconciliation of the religious systems of the world. Bahá'u'lláh has said that if one intelligent member be selected from each of the varying religious systems, and these representatives come together seeking to investigate the reality of religion, they would establish an interreligious body before which all disputes and differences of belief could be presented for consideration and settlement. Such questions could then be weighed and viewed from the standpoint of reality and all imitations be discarded. By this method and procedure all sects, denominations and systems would become one."

('Abdu'l-Bahá, Promulgation of Universal Peace, pp. 233-234)

Need for people to go to each other's churches, mosques, and synagogues[edit]

"ALL MUST abandon prejudices and must even go to each other’s churches and mosques, for, in all of these worshipping places, the Name of God is mentioned. Since all gather to worship God, what difference is there? None of them worship Satan. Muhammadans must go to the churches of the Christians and the synagogues of the Jews, and vice versa, the others must go to the Muhammadan mosques. They hold aloof from one another merely because of unfounded prejudices and dogmas. In America I went to the Jewish synagogues which are similar to the Christian churches, and I saw them worshipping God everywhere."

('Abdu'l-Bahá, Star of the West, vol. 17, issue 9, p. 282)
