The current afflictions in to- day’s society seems to have caused mankind to respond in one of two fashions, one is aggression; the other apathy. Aggression here is meant to be understood in the context of the battle that is waged when a desire or belief is not met, and apathy as fleeing away or hiding from the problem. These two responses are related to stress. They serve as an outlet for anxiety an anxiety which has a multitude of causes, which at the same time may be seen as a form of oppres- sion. Perhaps one ‘cause of this anxiety is that-mankind, with all of its knowledge and potential appears to be stagnent and op- pressed.

The Baha’i Faith, although acknowledging these afflictions and problems sees these tests and trials as necessary in order for mankind to develop. As a human being goes through stages in life, mankind goes through stages. Each of these stages brings us to a new one, stronger and more prepared.

The Baha’i Faith recognizes this principle of progression is also

Baha’i true of the Prophets of God. The Prophets, although differing in name, time, and location have Each revealed a new message de- pending upon the capacity of the people in Their time. Baha’is believe that Baha’u’llah is the latest Messenger whose message is nothing short of the organic unity of humanity. With this progres- sion also comes the belief that Each Prophet served as import- antly as the Others. Baha’is be- lieve that this progression will continue and that the next Mes- senger will reveal Himself in 1000 years.

World Religion Day at U.P.E.I. By Ritchie Rolfe

On Jan. 20, World Religion Day was commemorated at UPEI. Four world religions were repre- sented by the following people: Dr. Ali (prof. economics) spoke on Islam, Dr. Maddan (prof. physics) on Hinduism, Sister

Alma MacLellan (chaplain at UPEI) on Christianity, and Nadim Missaghian (3rd yr. stu- dent) on the Baha’i Faith.

Robert Donnelley, a former professor at UPEI, chaired the event. He opened by giving a brief history of World Religion Day and its purpose as a means where-. by the various religions of the world may look more at the simi- liarities they share rather than the differences. He took exerpts from a speech given by the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, R. Prema- dosa, who was a key-note speaker at last years World Religion Day celebration there. Sri Lanka officially recognizes the 3rd Sun- day in January as World Religion Day.

The program consisted of each speaker giving a 10 minute ac- count of their respective Faiths which was then followed by a question period in which the audience was allowed to direct questions to the speakers. Mr. Donnelly then closed the event’ with a prayer for mankind. This was organized by the Association for Baha’i Studies at UPEI.
