..The major challenges which man faces are worldwide in scale and their solution requires action on a universal basis. Yet present institutions tend to strengthen factionalism and to stultify the generous and long-range concepts of society in favour of the superficial and selfish. Baha'is believe that these institutions are so fundamentally obsolete and destructive of man's potential that they will not be the vehicle for the establishment of a new civilization.
