On Maybe I’m a Baha’i: The Baha’i have gardens & I like to garden! This was starting to sound like a good match

There are gardeners in the star garden. Baha’is do love to garden, in more ways than one. -gw

I knew little of the Baha’i before going, so I found the Baha’i’s central principles on the web.

- Abandonment of prejudice
- Full equality between the sexes
- Recognition of the oneness and commonality of the world’s religions
- Elimination of extreme poverty and wealth
- Universal compulsory education
- The responsibility of the individual to search independently for truth
- Establishing a world federal system
- Recognizing that faith and reason should be in harmony.

Hey! That sounds just like what I believe! Individuality, fairness, thoughtfulness, equity – those are my values too! (Well, to be fair, I’ve never really considered the idea of a world federal system, but I am for government-run universal health care, which would be a start, wouldn’t it?)
