…the whole
machinery of assemblies, of committees and conventions is to be regarded as a
means, and not an end in itself; …they will rise or fall according to their
capacity to further the interests, to cöordinate the activities, to apply the
principles, to embody the ideals and execute the purpose of the Bahá’í Faith.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated February 27, 1929; ‘The World Order of
Baha’u’llah’)
