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.
