As the various Bahá’í national communities, labouring directly as well as
indirectly, under the impulse of a Divine Plan, broaden and consolidate
the base of their operations in their respective homelands, and acquire
the potentialities that will empower them to lend, in an ever-increasing
measure, their share, and participate in the world-wide propagation of the
Faith, the Australian and New Zealand believers must, for their part,
contribute worthily to the overseas teaching activities and
accomplishments of these communities. Already the Bahá’í community in the
Great Republic of the West, the vanguard of the irresistibly marching army
of Bahá’u’lláh, has launched its twin crusades in Latin America and the
continent of Europe. Its collaborator in the execution of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s
Divine Plan, the Canadian Bahá’í community is busily engaged in
establishing the Faith beyond the Canadian mainland and further north in
the vast territory of Greenland. The Persian and Iraqi Bahá’í communities
are, moreover, assiduously labouring in the adjacent territories of the
Arabian Peninsula and the Kingdom of Afghanistan, while their
sister-communities in the sub-continent of India are pushing the frontiers
of the Faith as far as Ceylon in the South and Siam and Indonesia to the
North and Southeast of that subcontinent. More recently the members of the
British Bahá’í community, having brought to a successful conclusion their
first historic Plan, are devising the necessary measures for the launching
of a teaching enterprise in the heart of Africa, supplementing the work
already accomplished by the Egyptian Bahá’í community in that continent.
Shortly, and at its appointed time, yet another national community,
already established in the heart of the European continent, will, as soon
as the present obstacles are removed, and its internal activities are
sufficiently consolidated, embark on a campaign, beyond the borders of its
homeland, that will carry the light of the Faith to the adjoining Balkan
territories, the Baltic states and, across the eastern frontiers of
Europe, into Asia.
