Every
follower of Baha'u'llah conscious of the forces of integration and
disintegration operating in society today sees the relationship between the
rise in receptivity to the Faith in all parts of the globe and the failings of
the world's systems. That such receptivity will increase as the agonies of
humanity deepen is certain. Let there be no mistake: The capacity building that
has been set in motion to respond to mounting receptivity is still in its
earliest stages. The magnitude of the demands of a world in disarray will test
this capacity to its limits in the years ahead.

Justice, Ridvan 2008)
