Letter of 22 September 1948
The Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of Bristol
Dear Bahá'í Friends,
| |
| 1 |
Your letter of April 21st reached our beloved Guardian after
a long delay, and he has instructed me to answer it on his behalf.
| |
| 2 |
The formation of your Assembly, in the face of so many
difficulties, was indeed a noble achievement, and serves to prove
that our struggles as individuals, often handicapped by the sense
of our own inadequacy, are reinforced by the grace of Bahá'u'lláh,
Who enables us to achieve the seemingly impossible!
| |
| 3 |
He urges you all to persevere in maintaining your Assembly,
which forms one of the vital links in the Bahá'í chain, which will
soon gird the British Isles, never to lose heart, and to redouble
your teaching labours so as to ensure a broader foundation next
year for your Assembly's election and thus guarantee its
permanency.
| |
| 4 |
His prayers will be offered for you, one and all, for your
success and guidance.

With Bahá'í Love,
