The mission of the Founder of their Faith, they [Baha’is]
conceive it to be, to proclaim that religious truth is not absolute but
relative, that Divine Revelation is continuous and progressive, that the
Founders of all past religions, though differing in the non-essential aspects
of their teachings, "abide in the same Tabernacle, soar in the same heaven,
are seated upon the same throne, utter the same speech and proclaim the same
Faith".
