Justice: A path to unity

The Bahá’í Writings tell us that “the purpose of justice is the appearance of unity.” We will explore the Bahá’í paradigm of justice and how it can lead to unity. We will contrast it with our current society where punishment and punitive measures are the focus of a justice system and anger and estrangement are often the tools of individuals facing injustice. We will explore the differing roles of the individual and the community when pursuing justice, and the realities of applying justice along with forgiveness.
