Community
In a world of interdependent peoples and nations the advantage of the part is best to be reached by the advantage of the whole, and . . . no lasting result can be achieved by any of the component parts if the general interests of the entity itself are neglected.
- Shoghi Effendi, Promised Day is Come, p. vi

Quote of the Day
Jamal 18 Asma 183 B.E.
Bahá’ís are "fully entitled to address criticisms to their Assemblies" and offer their recommendations. When Bahá’ís have addressed their criticisms, suggestions and advice to their Assemblies, including their views "about policies or individual members of elected bodies," they must "wholeheartedly accept the advice or decision of the Assembly."
