What’s the Baihai faith? Sounds like a drink or a beach somewhere.

Bahai Shrine and Gardens<

***************************EXCERPT**********

The terraced gardens are on Mt. Carmel, overlooking Haifa Bay. The steps and terraces run down the hill from golden dome of the Shrine of the Bab. The shrine was built in 1953 to mark the tomb of of Siyyad Ali Muhammed – the Bab. He was born a Muslim, in Persia, and founded the Baihai faith (which is persecuted in modern Iran).

LOL.

I don’t know the details myself other than it being a relatively young religion founded in Persia, so Wikipedia comes to rescue!

This seems to have info:

*****************EXCERPT*****************

What do you believe?
• Do you believe that each person should independently seek after religious truth?
• Do you believe that women and men are spiritually equal?
• Do you believe that religion and science should agree?
• Do you believe in the abandonment of all forms of prejudice and that there should be unity between the races?
• Do you believe in the idea of universal education?

If you agree with some or all of the foregoing we think you will be interested in the teachings of the Bahá'í Faith, whose principles serve as a guide to religious and social progress at this time. Fuller discussion may be had by contacting the Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of Nanaimo, (250) 758-1845.
