This year marks the Centenary of the passing of 'Abdu''l-Bahá, the eldest son of Bahá'u'lláh, and a Figure unique in religious history. Born on the very same night that the Bahá'í Dispensation began, His life spanned the entire Heroic Age of the Bahá'í Faith. In this episode, we share a few account from 'Abdu'l-Bahá's life, and discuss His remarkable Station, and its implications for the collective life of humanity.

In this episode, we take a closer look at the Bahá'í concept of the Oneness of religion, through a dialogue between two friends. The questions we look at include:

• What does it mean to say that the great religions of the world have a single source?

• How does the Bahá'í Faith make sense of the differences between religions?

• What does a commitment to this belief imply for our behaviour and attitudes?

• Why do we need religion at all - why can't we just connect to the spirit on our own?

In this episode, we interweave history, philosophy, and personal reflection to introduce a few key Bahá'í concepts. We discuss questions such as:

• What is the nature of religion?

• How do different religions relate to each other?

• What is the station of Bahá'u'lláh?

• What is the difference between Bahá'u'lláh and a philosopher?

• Is there one central teaching of the Bahá'í Faith?

• What does the Oneness of Humanity mean?
