It is one of the essential teachings of the Faith that unity
should be maintained in the home. Of course this does not mean that any member
of the family has a right to influence the faith of any other member; and if
this is realized by all the members, then it seems certain that unity would be
feasible.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 6 July 1952 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi
to an individual believer; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Women)
