Bahai Faith -- North America; Shoghi, Effendi, 1897-1957 -- Correspondence
Seconded by the neighboring fully fledged Canadian Bahá’í Community
flourishing beyond the northern frontier of its homeland; supported by the
newly emerged Latin American communities established in the Antilles and
in each of the central and southern republics of the Western Hemisphere;
ably aided by its sister community vigorously functioning in the heart of
a far-flung empire, and destined to lend its inestimable assistance in the
spiritual conquest of the numerous and widely scattered dependencies of
the British Crown; reinforced by the oldest and youngest national Bahá’í
communities on the European mainland which are to play a prominent part in
the eastern and southern regions, and across the frontiers of Europe,
along the shores and in the islands of the Mediterranean; assisted by its
venerable sister community in the cradle of the Faith and by the second
oldest national community in the Bahá’í world actively engaged in the
propagation of the Faith in the Asiatic continent; confident of the help
of its Egyptian and Indian sister communities, whose destiny is closely
linked with the African continent and southeast Asia respectively, and,
lastly, assured of the unfailing cooperation of yet another national
community in the Antipodes which, owing to its geographical position, is
bound to assume a notable share in the introduction of the Faith in the
islands of the South Pacific Ocean, the American Bahá’í Community must, as
befits its rank as the chief executor of the Divine Plan, play a dominant
and decisive role in the direction and control of the manifold operations
involved in the prosecution of the North American, the Latin American, the
European, the African, the Asian and the South Pacific campaigns of this
World Crusade, and insure, by every means at its disposal and in
conjunction with its junior partners, its ultimate and total success.
