Abstract

Religious communities require a legal constitution if they wish to accomplish the worldly mission connected to their spiritually-oriented program. It is in this context that they are subject to two legal orders: state law and a binding internal religious system. In view of this fact, Emanuel Vahid Towfigh examines German religious constitutional law and the Bahai’s religious organization law. After describing each of the two dogmatic backgrounds, the author deals with the legal forms open to religious communities, using those criteria which are decisive for the choice of legal form - i.e. costs for founding the legal structures, fixed expenses for maintaining them and public perception - with regard to their suitability for religious communities in general and for the Bahai community in particular.
