“Consort ye then with the followers of all religions, and proclaim ye the Cause of your Lord, the Most Compassionate; this is the very crown of deeds, if ye be of them who understand.” Baha'u'llah, The Kitáb-i-Aqdas, p. 47

“The second Taraz is to consort with the followers of all religions in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship, to proclaim that which Speaker on Sinai hath set forth and to observe fairness in all matters.” Baha'u'llah, Tablets of Baha'u'llah, p. 35

“Consort with all men, O people of Bahá, in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship. If ye be aware of a certain truth, if ye possess a jewel, of which others are deprived, share it with them in a language of utmost kindliness and goodwill. If it be accepted, if it fulfill its purpose, your object is attained. If anyone should refuse it, leave him unto himself, and beseech God to guide him. Beware lest ye deal unkindly with him. A kindly tongue is the lodestone of the hearts of men. It is the bread of the spirit, it clotheth the words with meaning, it is the fountain of the light of wisdom and understanding.” Baha'u'llah, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 14

The purpose of this room is to make available some materials that may be helpful as we interact with other religious groups, whether Moslem, Christian, or Jew, or other interested like-minded groups. These materials can be downloaded and offered to them as educational programs.

“One Common Faith, prepared under our supervision, reviews relevant passages from both the writings of Bahá’u’lláh and the scriptures of other faiths against the background of the contemporary crisis. We commend it to the thoughtful study of the friends.” The Universal House of Justice. Naw-Rúz, 2005

“3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

3:2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

3:3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.” King James Bible, Malachi
