The Universal Principles of the Reform Bahai Faith collects many of the early writings
of Baha'u'llah and Abdu'l-Baha, published in the West, seeking to restore and preserve
their vision of the oneness of God, humanity, and all religions.

In addition to all of the 1912 Universal Principles of the Bahai Movement, the book
includes Baha'u'llah's Arabic Hidden Words, selections known as the Spirit of the Age,
an address by Abdu'l-Baha at the Friends' Meeting House in London in 1913, and many Bahai
prayers for community and individual worship and meditation.

Though beginning in 2004, the Reform Bahai Faith traces its origin to the early Bahais
Ruth White, Mirza Ahmad Sohrab, and Julie Chanler, who sought to preserve the Teachings
of Abdu'l-Baha after his passing in 1921. They and other early American Bahais understood
the Bahai Faith was being turned into an oppressive organization, under what the British
Museum document expert Dr. C. Ainsworth Mitchell judged to be a fraudulent will and
testament. Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Bahai Faith, believed in and taught a moderate,
universal religion, grounded in a separation of church and state, not a theocracy, and
members of the Reform Bahai Faith seek to recover and renew that saving vision for all
humanity.

The newcomer to the Bahai Teachings will find here a brief but eloquent and inspiring
introduction to the Faith of Baha'u'llah, while people already familiar with it will find a
refreshing breeze has returned to revivify and uplift the spirit.

This book marks the first publication of the Reform Bahai Press, which will publish
several more titles during the next few years.

A message to the reader:

Please keep in mind that the core teaching of Bahai faith is "UNITY".
However diverse we are, unity in the love of God and in the love of men is
what that bound us together and makes of us a sample community that
illustrates the functionality of such undertaking. No matter how difficult
it may seem, Bahais do believe that the humanity as whole would certainly
achieve such state, as it is Gods plan foretold by Baha'u'llah.

Baha'u'llah explicitly proclaims that His faith will never become fractured,
divided or made of it a toy for satisfaction of deluded, and power hungers.
This prophecy indeed can be considered the ultimate challenge to His claim
of being the manifestation of God for this age. Yet He attests that, there
will be considerable efforts and attempts to bring schism to the cause of
God, yet all would fail. All would fail.

Bahai faith is administrated and lead forward by its elected officers. We
have elections in local, regional, national and international level where
members, in the state of prayfulness, cast secret ballots and chose those
who appear to them the best, spiritually and otherwise, fit to administrate
the faith. Thus we withhold the Unity Baha'u'llah has asked of us. We do not
promote individuals to be elected to the offices, it is all in heart and
from heart.

Mr. Glaysher, on the other hand, does not believe in this unity. He wished
to implement changes that seem satisfactory to his desires, such as
promoting himself to be elected and teach his interpretation of the
writings to other fellow Bahai's. This he did not success to carry on within
the Bahai faith. Thus, after leaving the faith, he made his life carrier to
undertake extreme measurements to establish his own version of the Bahai
faith. An adventure that is in direct contrast with the will of the founder
of BF, Baha'u'llah.

Yet, we believers of Baha'u'llah have no doubt that his efforts and the
efforts of such mindset would diminish as foams of the sea, as they never
were. Mr. Glaysher's multiple web pages, published and unpublished books,
efforts to revitalize other apostates, and his one-man crusade against the
Bahai Faith and its establishment, all and all shall vanish. There will be
no night after the Sun of Baha'u'llah. By time it will become glorious and
more glorious, this is the promise of All High.

"He himself [Frederick Glaysher] continued to insist that he was a
full member of the Baha'i community until October 2004 when he set up
his own Baha'i group, the Reform Bahai Faith. There do not seem to
have been many members of this group (none have openly identified
themselves at any rate) and Glaysher himself announced he was
withdrawing "from being central to its development, looking to a
Convocation in 2006 to resolve this and other issues". Since the
Convocation itself was cancelled, it seems as though this group may
now be non-functional if it ever functioned."

(M. Momen accurately summing up the one man band that is the "Reform
Bahai Faith" which serves only as one more excuse for Glaysherspam)

Please keep in mind that the core teaching of Bahai [cult] is "FASCISM".
