abstract note	The Houston Baha'i community depends on non-coercive methods. The Baha'i religion offers a new vision of the communal effort. Intellectual and sacred rewards motivate members, who do not withdraw from worldly endeavors but are committed to educational attainment and careers. Members do, however, withdraw from public affairs that do not support the universalistic goals of the faith. Commitment mechanisms that support individuals who want instrumental rewards will be needed to build a world community.
