=Bahá'í=

The Bahá'í Faith is a relatively recent addition to the list of world religions represented in Guyana with the first local body (Local Spiritual Assembly) being established in Georgetown in 1955. National recognition came in 1976 when the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of Guyana was incorporated by Act of Parliament. This body represents all Bahá'ís in Guyana.

Bahá'ís are now widely distributed across Guyana and represent all major racial groups and regions.

The Bahá'í community, while relatively small, is well known for its emphasis on unity, non-involvement in politics and its work in issues such as literacy and youth issues.

In terms of religious practices and teachings the Guyana Bahá'í community closely follows those of Bahá'í communities in other countries.
