abstract note	In depth interviews with seven Iranian Bahá'í refugees reveal the centrality of religion to their relatively consistent cosmopolitan identities. Bahá'ís refer to their faith as a world religion where the key principle of elimination of prejudice is seen as brining about the nultimate outcome of unity in diversity. Bahá'ís come from all parts of the world, constitutiing a cosmopolitan religion. Central Bahá'í tenets appear to facilitate the process of adaptation. Bahá'ís refer to themselves as citizens of the world, thus identifying as Bahá'í and international rather than Iranian or Australian. These values outweigh national or ethnic identity.
