What is the role of the individual in the Bahá’í Faith?
The work of the Faith proceeds in three interactive and complementary spheres of activity: individual, community, and institutional. The role of the individual is accorded basic significance because the success of the community depends ultimately on the individual’s response to the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh. This role is expressed principally both in the initiatives taken by the individual to acquaint others with the Faith and in efforts to assist in building a united, functioning community.
