The association, founded at the University in 1994, offers a forum for the practitioners of the Baha'i faith. Baha'i is a relatively new, independent world religion that originated in Persia in 1844. Baha'is believe that there is one religion, and man and society have created the differences which are now accounted for in the denominational spectrum. The campus chapter now has more than 15 members who meet every Wednesday for discussions and readings. The intentions of the association are to expose its members and supporters to the Baha'i faith and unite students coming from different social and cultural backgrounds.
Unity is our ultimate objective.
The Baha'i followers believe in world equality, peace and education and are active in more than 200 countries. Schear said all are welcome to attend the organization's events. An open mic was held in October in Memorial Hall where students socialized, enjoyed refreshments and listened to musical performances.
