The continual aim of the institutions of the Bahá’í
community — whether it be through the operation of summer schools and training
institutes, through the development of the Nineteen Day Feasts and National
Conventions, or through day-to-day interaction among the friends — is to
empower the individual believers so that they will learn how to live their
lives with increasing knowledge, wisdom, unity and fruitfulness in conformity
with the Teachings of Bahá’u’lláh.
(From a letter dated 18 July 2000 written on
behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an individual believer)
