We wish to share with you the text of the following
resolution: After prayerful and careful study of the Holy Texts bearing upon
the question of the appointment of the successor to Shoghi Effendi as Guardian
of the Cause of God, and after prolonged consideration of the views of the
Hands of the Cause of God residing in the Holy Land, the Universal House of
Justice finds that there is no way to appoint or to legislate to make it
possible to appoint a second Guardian to succeed Shoghi Effendi.
