We have every reason to hope and believe that in the future
many of the truly enlightened clergy may seek the shelter of Bahá'u'lláh, just
as we feel certain that we may also expect at some future date a keen
antagonism to our Faith on the part of those who do not see in it the salvation
of the world, but rather challenge to their own fame and position.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a
letter dated 6 July 1942 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to a group of
believers; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Opposition)
