The purpose of religion, Baháulláh states ...is to establish unity and concord amongst the peoples of the world; make it not the cause of dissension and strife.4 In unity-a unity that embraces and honors the full diversity of humankind-all problems can be solved. When applied on a universal basis, the teaching that we should treat others as we ourselves wish to be treated, an ethic variously repeated in all the great religions, will undoubtedly reveal the salutary power of unity. The building of a global society based on cooperation, reciprocity, and genuine concern for others is the ultimate expression of unified action. In short, the core spiritual values held in common by the worlds religions contain within them the principal means for the reconciliation and advancement of the earths peoples. Through these values and the commitment they inspire, Minds, hearts and all human forces are reformed, perfections are quickened, sciences, discoveries and investigations are stimulated afresh, and everything appertaining to the virtues of the human world is revitalized.
