(Harvey McDowell photo) Uniting mankind is the most portant thing there is to do. World unity is not an ultimate, far-off goal. In fact, the world has already become virtually one country, and its problems can only be solved by the united will of humankind. Over a century ago, Baha'u'Ilah, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith, said: "The well-being. of mankind, its peace and security are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established." Just as the teachings of Christ, Moses, Krishna, Buddha and Muhammad united great numbers of people in the past, the teachings that Baha'u'Ilah has brought from God in this age show the way to unity for all mankind.
