Hmmm, not much, although it does ring a bell...

For more than a century, Bahá'í communities around the globe have been working to break down barriers of prejudice between peoples and have collaborated with other like-minded groups to promote the model of a global society. At the heart of their belief is the conviction that humanity is a single people with a common destiny. In the words of Bahá'u'lláh, the Founder of our Faith, "The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens."

Bahá'u'lláh taught that there is one God Who progressively reveals His will to humanity. Each of the great religions brought by the Messengers of God - Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad - represents a successive stage in the spiritual development of civilization. Bahá'u'lláh, the most recent Messenger in this line, has brought teachings that address the moral and spiritual challenges of the modern world.

But I could be wrong.

I think you are quite right, at least in the right direction. I think the Bhahai believe there should be one world government representing all the people of all different countries/nationalities, backgrounds, race, sex, etc ... basically just every living human being. i also think that they see the UN as a serving model for this world government.

But I could be wrong wink

Interesting stuff. I encourage every1 2 take it. U dont have 2 convert 2 the faith they say u r, but it certainly makes u think about ur beliefs, and makes u open 2 other spiritualities/religions.

I don't know much, but I do remember that Seals and Crofts were devout members of the Baha'i faith.
