The Internet makes it possible for Bahá’í and
Bahá’í-inspired content to become accessible to a wide audience. In this
connection, the House of Justice has encouraged the strengthening of the
official Bahá’í 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
endeavours of the community, use the Internet as a medium for promoting
Bahá’u’lláh’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.

Justice to a National Spiritual Assembly)
