The Institutions of Government & Politics and the Baha’i Faith

1983

 Institutions are structures that develop to organize important activities in ways that uphold cultural values. Education, family, religion, politics, and economics are some of those institutions. “They form the structure of society.”

The Guardian, Shoghi Effendi, referred to the Bahá’í government as the Bahá’í commonwealth. Bahá’í institutions will eventually provide the structure for the future order of the world. “The powers released by Baha’u’llah meet the needs of the time.”
