The Annual Convention is indeed a very important gathering
at which both delegates and visitors should try their very best to be present.
It is a splendid and unique opportunity for the believers to come together and
deliberate on the vital and pressing issues facing the Cause. It is for this
reason, and also because the Convention is the sole body entrusted with the
election of the N.S.A., that the friends, and particularly the delegates,
should make every effort to take part in the deliberations and discussions of
that annual gathering. - Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 10 May 1936 written on behalf of
Shoghi Effendi; ‘The Light of Divine Guidance, vol. 1)
