About This Book

A selection of letters and cablegrams addressed to Bahá'í communities in North America presents the Guardian's direct guidance on organizational, spiritual, and pedagogical matters, urging unity, consecration, and coordinated teaching plans while advising on non-participation in partisan politics, protection of institutions, and the deployment of pioneers; it commemorates significant losses, outlines programmatic goals such as multi-year teaching plans and conventions, and offers practical counsel on fundraising, administration, and community conduct, blending urgent exhortation with consolatory reflections to steer the community through rapid expansion and testing.
