Presenter: Group Exploration
(And short presentation by Colin Dibdin.) How have religions created unity? Are there different levels of unity? What is more important – to be united or to be right?

#263 – 5 March 2026 – Collective Security – Intro by Colin Dibdin – Group discussion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsmkhtWbXuw
Should any king take up arms against another, all should unitedly arise and prevent him. If this be done, the nations of the world will no longer require any armaments, except for the purpose of preserving the security of their realms and of maintaining internal order within their territories. This will ensure the peace and composure of every people, government and nation.
Bahá’u’lláh
