Abstract	The purpose of the current research is to better understand conflict theory in situations where there are ongoing and seemingly intransigent contexts that can lead to degradation, persecution, and genocide of cultural groups. The researchers focus on comparing intercultural conflict and conflict resolution theory with documented Bahá’í peace practices in two cases: Bahá’ís in Nazi Germany, and the Bahá’í Institute of Higher Education (BIHE) in current day Iran. Three types of acts demonstrate the Bahá’í worldview, which is not being accounted for commonly in conflict models. These acts negotiate the dialectical tension between unity and diversity, first by obeying the government while working to transform social systems, second by acting in ways that support peaceful relations while continuing to speak out about human rights, and third by focusing on maintaining ideals despite repeated and long-term experiences with reprisals from governments and individuals.
