One Common Faith was commissioned by and prepared under the supervision of the Universal House of Justice in 2005. Its title is drawn from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh wherein it is written: “That which the Lord hath ordained as the sovereign remedy and mightiest instrument for the healing of all the world is the union of all its peoples in one universal Cause, one common Faith.”

It is a response to the need for fundamental change in the way the believing masses of humankind relate to one another and a contribution to the elevation of discussion of religious issues above sectarian and transient considerations.
