Yet Another Religion




I knew I’d be learning more about three religions here:  Judaism, Christianity and Islam.  But I didn’t know about Baha’i.  I’m now in Haifa, Israel’s third largest city.  And located here are the immaculate and beautiful Baha’i Shrine and Gardens, one of the country’s top sights.  During the day or at night!  Haifa is the international headquarters for this faith, whose members believe in unity of the world’s religions, and see all religious leaders – including Christ, Buddha, Mohammed and Moses -- as ‘messengers of god’.  Now that’s religious tolerance  .   .   .

Israel is truly the center of the universe, IMHO! I did not know that Baha’i was there as well. It gives me hope for peace someday given they all believe in God, but just have different prophets!
