The Internet makes it possible for Baha'i and Baha'i
inspired content to become accessible to a wide audience. In this connection,
the House of Justice has encouraged the strengthening of the official Baha'i
presence on the World Wide Web, and it has been pleased to see the many
advances made, especially in recent years, and looks forward to the further
unfoldment of this process. Beyond that, many believers around the world, each
according to his or her circumstances and in coherence with other endeavors of
the community, use the Internet as a medium for promoting Baha’u’llah’s vision
of a new World Order, and it is natural for the friends to explore different
ways to do so. However, given that the Internet allows for the instantaneous
dissemination of content among growing multitudes, wisdom and self-discipline
are required lest the significance or dignity of the Teachings become
compromised by an unbecoming, inaccurate, or trivialized presentation.
