In its message of 28 November 2023 to the Bahá’ís of the world, the Universal House of Justice painted an enriching view of the first century of the Formative Age and provides a blueprint for advancing the unification of all of the peoples of the earth. From the striking statement, “That time has now come,” confidence and clarity can emerge about how to make a unique Bahá’í contribution to the eradication of racial prejudice and other social divisions that impede the progress of all of the people in the United States and around the world.
Drawing from recent guidance and examples of steps being taken in communities in the U.S., the session ultimately addresses a fundamental question: If a path to unity and justice is not yet visible in our community, does that mean this cannot exist, or might there be steps we can take to bring this vibrant pattern of unity in diversity to life in any setting?
