An orientation to process is apparent throughout the
writings of ‘Abdu'l-Bahá and Shoghi Effendi concerning the attainment of world
peace. For example, the Guardian reported the Master as having acclaimed
actions taken at the conclusion of the First World War to have signalized
"the dawn of the Most Great Peace". This stands in contrast to
pre-occupation with the short term in the wider society today which focuses
exclusively on events rather than on evolutionary processes.
