The Baha'i Faith has been an active part of religious and social life in America since the late 1800s. We are a recognized advocate for spiritual solutions based on the Teachings of Baha'u'llah on issues such as the elimination of prejudice, the equality of women and men, the universal education of children, and the establishment of world peace.
NEBY 2009: THE MOVEMENT is sponsored by the regional Bahai Council of the Northeastern States.
