The House of Justice ... has instructed us to point out that
proclamation, expansion, and consolidation are really three different aspects
of teaching which to some degree merge into one another and therefore it is
largely for each National Spiritual Assembly to decide how it will allocate
these different aspects to committees in light of the volume of the work and the
condition in each country.
