> 
> South East Asia is home to many different religious traditions. It is a region
> where Hindu, Chinese, Buddhist, Muslim and Christian communities have
> intermingled for centuries. Since ancient times, it has been the meeting ground
> for the civilisations of India and China. Its religious and cultural territory
> spans Confucian Singapore, Buddhist Thailand, Muslim Malaysia and
> Indonesia, and the Catholic Philippines. Each of these countries contain a
> significant number of Taoists, Hindus and Christians froma wide variety of
> different denominations. It is therefore fitting that a Singapore Baha'i Studies
> Review journal be dedicated to the Baha'i principle of the "Fundamental
> Unity of Religions".
> 
> Most of the papers in this volume began as talks given at the 2nd Singapore
> Baha'i Studies conference held on the 12th April 1997, at the Kent Vale
> Community Hall, Singapore. The editor would like to thank the authors whom
> he closely worked with over the last six months, for their openness, cooperation, and patience. Thanks must also go to Antonella Khursheed for the
> journal type-setting, and to Lynette Thomas for her meticulous copy-editing,
> which, in some instances, involved remarkable detective work.
