Welcome to the website of the Bahá'ís of Vernier (Canton of Geneva, Switzerland), and surrounding areas.
Vernier is a multicultural town in the vicinity of Geneva, where multiple religions coexist, and amongst them, the Bahá'í Faith, the youngest revealed religion. For the Bahá'ís, Bahá'u'lláh is the Manifestation of God for this day and Age and the promised one of all faiths, and has set a moral and spiritual standard for both individuals and society for the years to come.
The purpose of the Bahá'í Faith is to attain the oneness of Mankind and a universal peace, which can only come if we get rid of our prejudices, accord religion with science and reason, investigate the truth independently, adopt a universal auxilary language, confer equal rights to men and women, and put into place a spiritual solution to economic and social problems.
