50th ABS Annual Conference
Saturday August 8, 2026 2:00pm - 3:15pm EDT

This presentation explores a covenantal understanding of sin and moral obligation in Bahá’í thought, drawing on the writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and recent guidance of the Universal House of Justice. It examines how moral accountability arises within specific divine covenants rather than from a universalized moral code, offering a principled explanation for why Bahá’ís do not impose their standards on others. In dialogue with covenantal approaches in contemporary Christian theology, the session invites participants to reflect on how this framework can support ethical seriousness, interreligious collaboration, and constructive engagement in pluralistic moral discourse.
