As you know, the attention of the Bahá’í world has been, and
will continue to be for at least the next fifteen years, focused on advancing
the process of entry by troops. It is expected that, as this process gathers
momentum at the local level, one of the natural consequences will be the
emergence of a vibrant Bahá’í community life characterized by a desire to apply
the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh to the needs of society. Effective social action
will result, then, as capacity at the grassroots of the community increases and
collective consciousness is raised. - The Universal House of Justice (From a letter dated 6 September 2006
