Thanks for the url about Bahai, Duncan. I followed it around and found this:

BASIC TEACHINGS

The basic teachings of the Bah '¡ Faith are:

The oneness of God
The oneness of humanity
Independent investigation of truth
The common foundation of all religions
The essential harmony of science and religion
The equality of men and women
The elimination of all kinds and forms of prejudice and discrimination
Universal compulsory education
A spiritual solution to the economic problems facing the world
A universal auxiliary language
Universal peace upheld by a world government

Here is the complete url I got that from:

I was intrigued that although there are people of the Bahai faith all over the world now, there are only seven temples. Perhaps worshipping in a particular place is not essential to this religion. I also wondered why the temples all have nine sides. I am sure it is symbolic, but could not find the meaning.

Anyway, thanks!
