The Bahá'í Community of Yellowknife
Welcome to The Bahá'í Community of Yellowknife
Bahá'u'lláh said, “The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens,” and that, as foretold in all the sacred scriptures of the past, now is the time for humanity to live in unity.
The Bahá'í Faith is the youngest of the world's independent religions. Its founder, Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892), is regarded by Bahá'ís as the most recent in the line of Messengers of God that stretches back beyond recorded time and that includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad.
Canadian Baha’is, in large cities and small towns, and from every conceivable background are dedicated to the creation of a worldwide society built on principles of justice and unity, characterized by the elimination of racial and religious prejudice, and the equality of women and men – where diversity is celebrated and the arts, sciences and a love of learning is encouraged.
Baha’is, along with their friends and neighbours are involved in a series of initiatives that include the education of children, the empowering of young people and programs to assist in the development of our spiritual and moral capacities in order to be of greater service to humanity.
