In every dispensation, there hath been the commandment of
fellowship and love, but it was a commandment limited to the community of those
in mutual agreement, not to the dissident foe. In this wondrous age, however,
praised be God, the commandments of God are not delimited, not restricted to
any one group of people, rather have all the friends been commanded to show
forth fellowship and love, consideration and generosity and loving-kindness to
every community on earth.
- ‘Abdu'l-Baha (Selections from the Writings of
‘Abdu'l-Baha)
