The embryonic Faith, maturing three years after His [the
Báb] martyrdom, traversing the period of infancy in the course of the Heroic
Age of the Faith is now steadily progressing towards maturity in the present
Formative Age, destined to attain full stature in the Golden Age of the Bahá’í
Dispensation.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 4 July 1950; ‘Citadel of
Faith’)
