Baha'i Faith Strong, Leader Says
One of the most noticeable characteristics of members of the Kansas University Baha'i Club is their dedication to the principles of their faith in everyday activities.
Chris Ruhe, Leawood senior, president of the club, said the club's 15 members come from all parts of the world. He said this demonstrated the Baha'is belief that people of all races find equality with each other because they are equal before God.
Ruhe said many Baha'is on campub participate in civil rights activities on their own rather than as a group. Baha'is have no "color line" or racial segregation and membership includes people of different national and racial backgrounds.
The Baha'i faith differs from most religions in that there is no priesthood or professional clergy. The KU Baha'i Club itself meets each Friday evening in the homes of club members for teaching meetings.
"Five Baha'is from Lawrence meet
with the group". Ruhe said. "The faith is strongest in the United States in Southern California although national headquarters are located in Wilmette, Ill. The faith originated in Iran in 1844."
"Baha'is believe in one God, even though men have called Him by different names." Ruhe explained that God has revealed himself throughout history in different ways to different people. The same faith was developed and adopted to meet the needs of the people in each period of history. He called this theory "progressive revelation."
The Baha'a's vision of a united world begins with each man and woman. Individuals must have high moral standards and a new basis of belief if they are to become citizens of one world.
Ruhe said these standards of behavior often conflict with accepted behavior patterns found on a college campus. He cited drinking as an
example of a social behavior prohibited by Baha's.
Baha'u'llah, founder of the faith, has said that a "House of Justice" must be established in each community. This body or governing organization, elected by the people, would be composed of men and women so qualified that they would be "trustees of the Merciful among men." In the plan each nation's House of Justice would elect the International House of Justice. This international legislature would then make laws for a federalized world.
To help world unity, nations would need to choose an international language to be used along with their native tongue.
In outlining his plan for world order, Baha'u'llah declared that religion must show men how to build a just world. He said that religion must unite people or else it had no social value.
