The Bahá'ís are fully entitled to address criticisms to
their Assemblies; they can freely air their views about policies or individual
members of elected bodies to the Assembly, Local or National, but then they
must whole-heartedly accept the advice or decision of the Assembly, according
to the principles already laid down for such matters in Bahá'í administration.

National Spiritual Assembly; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. III, Issues
Concerning Community Functioning)
