		<description><![CDATA[The concept of “Unity in Diversity” is a given in the Bahá&#8217;í Faith and a term that’s been bandied around so often, that we’re now seeing it in the non-Bahá&#8217;í world too.  The best known usage inside the Faith, is around the concept of the oneness of humanity, being likened to a garden, but recently [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Remember My days during thy days, and My distress and banishment in this remote prison . . .&#8221; (Bahá&#8217;u'lláh)
