The call of the Kingdom
has been sounded, and the annunciation of the world's need for Universal
Peace has enlightened the world's conscience.
My hope is that through the zeal and ardour of the pure of heart, the
darkness of hatred and difference will be entirely abolished, and the
light of love and unity shall shine; this world shall become a new world;
things material shall become the mirror of the divine; human hearts shall
meet and embrace each other; the whole world become as a man's native
country and the different races be counted as one race.

Abdu'l-Bahá in London, Page: 38)

"Baha'u'llah says the well being of mankind, its peace and security are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established," said Ms. Murphy. "So nothing we do, no amount of money, no amount of research is going to guarantee the security of mankind unless its unity is firmly established. So that's what our job is - to lay the foundation [for development], which is the unity of the world."
William E. Davis, Chairman of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of the United States, gave a talk titled "Key Values That Shape a Community for Growth and Development." He said Baha'is should place particular emphasis on work focused on assisting young people.
"No activity is more vital... than the spiritual education of children and junior youth," said Mr. Davis.
In addition to plenary sessions, the conference featured two days of workshops that focused on specific topics, such as racism and its relation to materialism, sustainable development, the importance of service to humanity, and the critical role of education in development.
