When in Bahá'í history
Another early pilgrim was aware of the ‘bitter antagonism’ which ordinarily existed among the followers of different religious bodies. “For example, a Jew and a Muhammadan would refuse to sit at meat together: a Hindu to draw water from the well of either. Yet, in the house of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá we found Christians, Jews, Muslims, Zoroastrians, Hindus, blending together as children of the one GOD, living in perfect love and harmony.”
