S P I R I T UA L COMM U N I T Y Bahá’í Faith CONTACT: Roi and Linden Qualls, 937‑767‑7079 EMAIL: ysbahai@gmail.com WEB: ohiobahai.org In the words of Bahá’u’lláh, the founder of the Bahá’í faith, “It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world.” Bahá’u’lláh taught that there is one God who progressively reveals his will to humanity. Each of the great religions initiated by one of God’s divine messengers repre- sents a successive stage in the spiri- tual development of humankind. All religions are seen as one in spirit because, essentially, they share a common aim and origin. Bahá’ís regard Bahá’u’lláh as the most recent of these messengers, whose teachings address the ethi- cal, social and spiritual challenges of the modern world. For more than a centur y, Bahá’í communi- ties around the globe have worked to dissolve prejudices based on nationality, class, race, religion and gender. The Bahá’í Community supports children’s classes, junior youth spiritual empowerment programs, devotional programs and study classes. All these activities, includ- ing holy day celebrations, are open to the public. Bethel Lutheran Church CONTACT: Pastor Larry Bannick, 2731 W.
