As the Bahá'í Administrative Order rapidly expands throughout the world it behooves everyone associated with it to familiarize himself with its principles, to understand its import and to put its precepts into practice. Only as individual members of Local Spiritual Assemblies deepen themselves in the fundamental verities of the Faith and in the proper application of the principles governing the operation of the Assembly will this institution grow and develop toward its full potential. (The Universal House of Justice, from a letter dated 11 August 1970 to all National Spiritual Assemblies; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Local Spiritual Assemblies)
