Hello everybody. Nice to be back!
I cannot see that I have presented these words by Abdu'l-Bahá, before:
"When religion, shorn of its superstitions,traditions and unintelligent dogmas, shows conformity with science, then there will be a great unifying, cleansing force in the world, which will sweep before it all wars, disagreements, discords and struggles, and then will all mankind be united in the power of the love of God".
This is a statement by J.E. Esslemont in "Bahaullah and the New Era".p.230-1:
Hitherto the young eagle of humanity has clung to the old aerie in the solid rock of selfishness and materialism. Its attemps to use its wings have been timid and tentative... It has had restless longings for something still unattained. More and more it has been chafing in the confinement of the old dogmas and ortodoxies. But now the era of confinement is at an end, and it can launch on the wings of faith and reason into the higher realms of spiritual love and truth.
How about that?
Kind regards
Laila
