Bahá’ís of Renton

A Faith for Today

by Patrick Connolly in About the Baha'i Faith
Over a century ago Bahá’u’lláh taught that religious truth is not final but progressive. Religion is renewed, He said, in every age to re-establish and apply the unchanging principles found in the scriptures of the Great Religions of the world to the needs of the present day.

From the Baha'i Writings...

That is to say, the fundamentals are conducive to unity, but imitations are the cause of disunion and dismemberment.
