In its Ridván 2008 message, the House of Justice observed
that, as the work of expansion and consolidation progresses, Bahá’ís will be
drawn further and further into the life of the society around them. The nature
of this encounter will necessarily be organic, gradual, and guided by the
learning process in which the believers everywhere are already engaged.
Moreover, it is hoped that the Bahá’í community’s increasing involvement with
society will occur naturally in every cluster around the world. - The Universal House of Justice (From a letter
dated 16 June 2009 written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an
individual believer; compilation: ‘Social Action’, Prepared by the Research
Department of the Universal House of Justice, August 2020)
