From the point of view of any essentially religious experience, the very existence of so many Bahá’í centers both in the East and in the West reveals a quality of action not paralleled in any other religion today. Maintained as they are by believers loyal not merely to one system of teachings, and responsive to a single administrative direction, but by the very character of their faith endeavoring also to rise above existing prejudices of race, nation, class and creed, these centers merit special consideration by students of religion from the fact that each of them provides a training school actively inculcating an entirely new outlook upon humanity and its gravest present-day problems. Thus, while it might fail to impress the casual non-Bahá’í observer, the single factor of inter-Assembly Bahá’í correspondence brings to the believer himself a most significant and deeply cherished experience of increasing moral solidarity, emotional sympathy, and intellectual understanding with fellow believers in all parts of the world, whom he has not or in all probability will never personally know, but with whom he feels himself inseparably identified as the result of mutual faith. To an American believer particularly, because he lives in a population using but one language, there is something infinitely appealing in the receipt of communications conveying a most intimate spirit of fellowship and common understanding but written in unfamiliar languages and dialects from the four quarters of the globe. These and other experiences normally encountered by all Bahá’ís, impress the believer himself with a sense of privilege and a conviction of significance it is impossible to share with those who have no direct personal relationship with a Movement founded to overcome the inveterate and multifarious differences separating the minds and hearts of men.
