While eschewing
partisan political activity, Bahá’ís are to vigorously engage in constructive
public discourse and in a wide range of social endeavours aimed at the
betterment of the world and the progress of their respective nations. They
undertake such activities with humility, discernment and respect for prevailing
laws and social conditions, in a spirit of learning and in collaboration with
like-minded groups and individuals, fully confident in the power inherent in
the principle of unity in diversity and in the efficacy of mutual aid and
cooperation.
