Is lasting peace possible? What are the processes by which it can be established? How do issues like human rights and the environment affect the prospects for peace?<br/><br/>These are among the questions addressed in a new book from George Ronald publishers, "Processes of the Lesser Peace."<br/><br/>Published in February 2003, the book contains eight essays by noted Baha'i authors, scholars and specialists on issues relating to the establishment of the "lesser peace," a state of political unity among nations foretold in the Baha'i sacred writings.<br/><br/>Edited by Babak Bahador and Nazila Ghanea, the essays include: " Baha'i Proposals for the Reformation of World Order," by Jeffrey Huffines; "The Environment and the Lesser Peace," by Arthur Lyon Dahl; "The Spiritual Destiny of America and the Achievement of World Peace," by John Huddleston; and "Everything That Rises Must Converge: Global Governance and the Emergence of the Lesser Peace," by Charles Lerche.<br/><br/>"We hope that this book will give to the reader an informed viewpoint of the Baha'i teachings on peace and in a contemporary context," said Mr. Huffines, who is the United Nations representative of the Baha'i community of the United States.<br/><br/>By covering so many aspects of peace, from human rights to global governance to the environment, the book illustrates that peace is not an event but a process, said Mr. Huffines.<br/><br/>"Peace is much more than a diplomatic agreement between governments," he said. "It involves a complete transformation of society, as well as the individuals who compose the society. And what the Baha'i teachings can contribute to this process is a vision in which we are all active participants in this transformation." |
