The Universal Principles of the Reform Bahai Faith collects many of
the early writings of Baha'u'llah and Abdu'l-Baha, published in the
West, seeking to restore and preserve their vision of the oneness
of God, humanity, and all religions. In addition to all of the 1912
Universal Principles of the Bahai Movement, the book includes
Baha'u'llah's Hidden Words, selections known as the Spirit of the
Age, an address by Abdu'l-Baha at the Friends' Meeting House in
London in 1913, and many Bahai prayers for community and individual
worship and meditation. Though beginning in 2004, the Reform Bahai
Faith traces its origin to the early Bahais Ruth White, Mirza Ahmad
Sohrab, and Julie Chanler, who sought to preserve the Teachings of
Abdu'l-Baha after his passing in 1921. They and other early
American Bahais understood the Bahai Faith was being turned into an
oppressive organization, under what the British Museum document
expert Dr. C. Ainsworth Mitchell judged to be a fraudulent will and
testament. Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Bahai Faith, believed in
and taught a moderate, universal religion, grounded in a separation
of church and state, not a theocracy, and members of the Reform
Bahai Faith seek to recover and renew that saving vision for all
humanity. The newcomer to the Bahai Teachings will find here a
brief but eloquent and inspiring introduction to the Faith of
Baha'u'llah, while people already familiar with it will find a
refreshing breeze has returned to revivify and uplift the spirit.
This book marks the first publication of the Reform Bahai Press,
which will publish several more titles during the next few years.
