Is the Bahá'í
Faith
a religious organisation?
The Bahá'í Faith is the second
most widespread religion in the world, according
to the Encyclopaedia Britannica. It is independent
of any other world faith. There are thousands
of Bahá'ís in the UK, and millions
across the world. The Bahá'í Faith
embraces every culture, class, tribe, nationality
and race. Bahá'ís believe in the
oneness of humankind, and in all their activities
seek to promote this vision of unity and global
citizenship. There are no clergy in the Bahá'í
Faith and Bahá'ís govern themselves
through a unique democratic structure. If you
are interested in learning more about Bahá'í
beliefs, we recommend visiting www.bahai.org

The vision of the
Bahá'ís of Swindon is to help serve
the spiritual needs of the people of the town. In
the year 2000, Swindon's city status bid was criticised
by the Home Office for being "too materialistic"
and lacking the most important element of all -
the spirit. Swindon will only truly shine and prosper
if we acknowledge the spiritual dimension in human
nature and make the moral, emotional, physical and
spiritual development of every citizen a priority.

The projects started by the Swindon
Bahá'ís have already begun to serve
these needs and are proving to be an essential
part of life in Swindon.
