"The social teachings are adapted to the age in which we live. As society changes we need different kinds of teachings."
The exhibition coincides with the celebration of Baha'u'llah's Birth at the Castlecliff Pavilion at 1.30pm on Sunday, October 22.
Baha'u'llah was born in 1817 in Tehran and established a religion whose principal teachings are the oneness of humanity, the oneness of religion and the oneness of God.
"Baha'u'llah has offered humanity a firm hope that the many conflicts and power struggles affecting every society will be resolved," Aidan MacLeod from the New Zealand Baha'i office of public affairs said.
Anyone interested in participating in the upcoming bicentenary celebrations or learning more about Baha'u'llah and his teachings is welcome to contact the Local Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Whanganui on 022 057 1952.
