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. Beyond this, however, the House of Justice does not wish to go, and urges the friends not to make an issue of the matter.

Quote of the Day
Fidal 14 Ilm 182 B.E.
If an Assembly becomes aware that a Bahá’í is mistreating another person, it has a responsibility to use its collective will to counsel that individual about his or her actions. If its counsels are not accepted, the Assembly should not hesitate to implement stronger measures, such as the recommendation that administrative sanctions be placed on the believer.
