Letter of 7 December 1954
The Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of Oxford
Dear Bahá'í Sister:
| |
1 |
Your letter of November 30th with enclosure has been
received by the beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to
answer you on his behalf.
| |
2 |
The news of the opening of the Oxford Bahá'ís' first Centre
rejoiced his heart. He was particularly happy to know that this
project was consummated and the Centre furnished and made
ready for use almost entirely through the united efforts and
devotion of the believers themselves.

As you know, the Guardian attaches great importance to
Oxford. Now that the friends have a Centre, which in itself will
be a means of attracting seeking souls to them to learn of the
Faith; and also the Bahá'ís have made for themselves a teaching
plan, he feels confident that the work will go forward there with
great strides, and that your community will grow in numbers
and in strength.

He will remember you all in his loving prayers in the Holy
Shrines.

With loving Bahá'í greetings,

[From the Guardian:]
May the Almighty bless continually your highly meritorious
efforts, and enable you to win great and memorable victories in the
service of His Faith,
| |

Your true brother,
