Who are
the Baha’is?
□ Bah&’is are members of
an independent religion
founded by Bah&’u’116h.
The Baha’i Faith
has followers in over 300 countries
and territories, from India to Bolivia, from
Ireland to Tasmania, from Sweden to
Japan.
□ Baha’is believe in the unity
of God and accept the divine origin
of religions, including Judaism,
Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism.
□ Baha’is advocate the unity
of nations and races, the establishment
of universal peace, the equality
of the sexes, and the abolition of all forms of
prejudice.
□ Bah&’is propose the adoption
of an international
auxiliary language,
the abolition of barriers
to international, economic
and cultural exchange,
and the development
of institutions that would
ensure lasting peace.
□ Baha’is abstain from
partisan politics, refuse
to assume hostile attitudes
or to engage in violence,
emphasizing instead the need
to spiritualize humanity
and to apply moral standards
to institutions as well as to individuals.
ENGLAND + JOHN FORD COLEY will present a brief introduction to the BahdT Faith
and answer your questions about it on Friday, April 6, at 10:30 p.m. (following their
concert), in Rm. 200 Harrington. Sponsored by THE BAHA’I CLUB OF TAMU.
After the luncheon, students will
return to the capitol for a guided
tour.
That afternoon, the group will
talk with Governors’ Aide Allen
Clark, and Railroad Commissioner
Mack Wallace.
The group will return to the MSC
around 5:30 p.m.
Greg Krause, coordinator of the
Austin trip, said Political Forum
began making plans for the trip
early in March by writing represen
tatives and setting up specific meet
ing times.
“Many students are uninformed
about current issues in state politics,
so we re trying to give them an
overall awareness of what is going
on and how decisions are made in
our government,” Krause said.
Krause said he had hoped more
students would participate, but said
he feels the smaller group size may
enable the students to become more
easily acquainted with the speakers.
Students who are interested in
the trip may contact Political Forum
in Room 216 of the MSC.
