With regard to your question concerning the right of a
member of the National Spiritual Assembly to disclose to that body any facts
which he possesses as a member of a Local Spiritual Assembly, the Guardian
thinks that the adequate presentation of all such facts is not only the right
but the duty of every member of the National Spiritual Assembly. It is, indeed,
the responsibility of every conscientious and loyal believer who has the
privilege of being a member of the National Spiritual Assembly to provide for
the general information of his co-workers in that body, all the facts which the
latter requires for the study and settlement of the cases under its
consideration.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 14 January 1935 written on behalf of Shoghi
Effendi to the National Spiritual Assembly of India and Burma; The Compilation
of Compilations, vol. II, National Spiritual Assembly)
