Zusammenfassung:The Bahá'í Faith "claims not to destroy or belittle previous Revelations, but to connect, unify, and fulfill them," according to Shoghi Effendi (Bahá'í "Guardian," 1921-57). Seena Fazel proposed "three bridges that can link the Bahá'í community to other religions in dialogue": "ethical," "intellectual," and "mystical-spiritual." The Universal House of Justice (elected international Bahá'í council) addressed its public "Letter to the World's Religious Leaders" (April, 2002) to promote consensus "that God is one and that... religion is likewise one." Shoghi Effendi's declaration that the Bahá'í Faith "proclaims all established religions to be divine in origin, identical in their aims, complementary in their functions, continuous in their purpose, indispensable in their value to mankind" potentially can promote ideal interfaith relations through reciprocal recognition and respect.
