Week 8
In the clustered jewels of the races may the blacks be
as sapphires
and rubies and the whites as diamonds and pearls. The composite
beauty of humanity will be witnessed in their unity and blending.
How glorious the spectacle of real unity among mankind!
How conducive to peace, confidence and happiness if races
and nations were united in fellowship and accord!
The Prophets of God were sent into the world
upon this mission of unity and agreement:
that these long-separated sheep
might flock together.
From Baha’i Scripture

difference and distinction.
