Indeed it has ever been the cherished desire of our Master
‘Abdu'l-Bahá that the friends in their councils, local as well as national,
should by their candour, their honesty of purpose, their singleness of mind, and
the thoroughness of their discussions achieve unanimity in all things.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 29 January 1925 to the
National Spiritual Assembly of the United States and Canada, published in
"Bahá'í Administration"; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I,
Consultation)
