Towards a New World Order: Governance Issues with Andy Tamas

“The world’s equilibrium hath been upset through the vibrating influence of this most great, this new World Order….” - Baha’u’llah

Two objectives of the Baha’i revelation are the recognition of the one-ness of humanity and the establishment of a New World Order. These have major implications for governance, from individual, interpersonal and community to global levels.

Baha’u’llah proclaimed His mission to the kings and rulers of His time, calling on them to establish the Most Great Peace. Their rejection of His call has set humanity on a rocky road towards the Lesser Peace.

In this presentation, Andy Tamas explores how patterns of governance (order) have changed in the last century, the various stages in the inter-national movement towards world peace, and the major challenges and lessons learned from the establishment of the United Nations and the European Union. What will drive world leaders to recognize the “imperative necessity” described by Baha’u’llah? How will the Baha’is fulfill their task of breathing life into the political unification of mankind? Please join us for a series of talks addressing some of humanity’s shared challenges and opportunities as we work to advance an emerging global civilization. This series brings together perspectives from the Baha'i writings, current research, experience, and contemporary discourses on key issues of our time.
