The Bahá’ís are fully entitled to address criticisms to
their assemblies; they can freely air their views about policies or individual
members of elected bodies to the assembly, local or national, but then they
must whole-heartedly accept the advice or decision of the assembly, according
to the principles already laid down for such matters in Bahá’í administration.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 13 May 1945 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi; ‘Letters
to Australia and New Zealand’)
