Letter to the Editor
January 20 has been proclaimed
World Religion Day. Through the
efforts of the American Baha’is the
third Sunday of every January has
been set aside for the formal rec
ognition of the world’s great re
ligions’ and their divinely inspired
founders.
The list of revealed religions
claiming adherents and exerting a
direct influence on the peoples of
the world today is relatively short
and includes, in the order of their
appearance Judaism, Buddhism,
Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Christi
anity, Islam and Baha’i. All have
in common the belief in one God
and that this God makes his will
known through the instrument of
a human being endowed with di
vine attributes as exemplified by
the lives of Moses, Budda, Krishna,
Zoroaster, Christ, Muhhommad and
Baha’u’llah. Each of the Prophets
left behind a body of literature
and laws usually compiled in the
form fo a holy book, again in or
der, these are the Old Testament,
Gospel of Budda, Bhagavad Gita,
Zend-Avesta, New Testament, Ko
ran and Aqdas. The influence ex
erted by these Faiths upon the
lives and destinies of men staggers
the imagination. They have served
as the foundation upon which great
civilizations have been built. They
have provided the moral and eth
ical frameworks always necessary
before man could function in unity
with his fellows. They have pro
vided the hope needed to carry
men and nations through periods
of trial and they continue to offer
the key to the world that lies in
side of us.
All the worlds religions testify
to the promise, made in one form
or another by their founders; that
God will never leave His creature
without guidance. If this be the
case, can we not look to the future
secure in the realization that we
have been created to carry forward
an ever advancing civilization, a
civilization which must look with
gratitude at the contributions of
all the worlds great religions and

Knudsen was one of the many
