Community Structure

The Baha’i Faith’s unique administrative structure is under constant refinement and organic development. With no clergy, the faith fosters consultative learning spaces from the grassroots to the global level.
“If learning is to be the primary mode of operation in a community, then visions, strategies, goals and methods have to be re-examined time and again. As tasks are accomplished, obstacles removed, resources multiplied and lessons learned, modifications have to be made in goals and approaches, but in a way that continuity of action is maintained.”
