The teachers of the Cause can surely become members of any
Assembly or committee. There should be
no incapacity attached to them. But
Shoghi Effendi would just prefer to see them devote all their time to teaching
and leave the administrative functions for those who cannot serve as teachers.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, published in Baha'i News,
October 1932; quoted by the Universal House of Justice in a letter dated 25
November 1963; ‘Messages from the Universal House of Justice 1963-1986 Baha'i
News, October 1932)
