Abbreviations

You have expressed concern at the use of abbreviations in an email discussion group when referring to the Universal House of Justice. In addressing the institutions of the Faith, or when referring to them, it would be more fitting to use the full name or title, rather than abbreviations.

Quote of the Day

Kamal 18 Mulk 182 B.E.
