A Design for Lasting Peace: 100 Years of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the United States and Canada

Over the course of 100 years, the Baha’i Faith has woven a compelling story of unity, progress, and transformation. This video encapsulates the evolution of a spiritual community striving for a world beyond conflict and division.

The Baha’i Faith, founded by Baha’u’llah, presents a vision for a prosperous world, where spiritual teachings and principles guide humanity towards lasting peace. Central to this vision is the unique approach of ordaining institutions rather than individuals to continue the faith’s mission, emphasizing a collective effort over individual authority.

The film highlights the pivotal role North America, particularly the United States, plays in this global story. It reflects on the evolution of the Baha’i community in America, from its early assemblies to the establishment of governing bodies that embrace diversity and foster unity.

We invite viewers to reflect on the ongoing journey of the Baha’i community, celebrating the milestones achieved over a century while inspiring deeper conversations about the shared responsibility of building a unified world.
