Baha'is of Long Island, NY

We are people with hopes and dreams, with character strengths and weaknesses. We are struggling daily with life’s challenges. We come from diverse racial, cultural, religious, educational, and economic backgrounds. We are women and men, young and old. We live in over 127,000 localities throughout the world.

Why Have We Become Bahá'ís?

For many of us, our search for meaning in life led us to the Bahá'í Faith. Not only did the Bahá'í Faith make sense to us, but it touched our hearts as well. We discovered a loving, supportive Baha'i community with teachings that educated and channeled our efforts to become nobler people. We recognized that the Bahá'í Faith is the latest in a series of Divine Revelations sent by God to humanity over the centuries and that its teachings are particularly relevant to today’s world. Most importantly, it has imparted a fresh infusion of spiritual power into the world to transform humanity in order to create a just and peaceful world civilization.

What Is the Bahá'í Faith?

Among the principles which the Bahá'í Faith promotes are:
   the oneness of humanity
   the oneness of religion
   the elimination of all forms of prejudice
   the equality of women and men
