While the Convention is in session and the accredited
delegates have already elected from among the believers throughout the country
the members of the National Spiritual Assembly for the current year, it is of
infinite value and a supreme necessity that as far as possible all matters
requiring immediate decision should be fully and publicly considered, and an
endeavor be made to obtain after mature deliberation, unanimity in vital
decisions.

esteemed members of the American National Spiritual Assembly”, Baha’i News, no.
