Messages to America: Selected Letters and Cablegrams Addressed to the Bahá'í's of North America 1932–1946
Shoghi, Effendi
Bahai Faith -- North America; Shoghi, Effendi, 1897-1957 -- Correspondence
In the western extremity of that continent, in the Iberian Peninsula, the
parent land and fountain-head of the culture of those Republics which have
already been quickened by the first stirrings of the Plan conceived by
‘Abdu’l-Bahá; in the extreme North, among the Scandinavian peoples, and
further south, amidst their Flemish and French neighbors, whose conversion
will considerably enrich the diversity of the races to be included within
the orbit of its operation; in the extreme South, in the Italian
Peninsula, the cradle of a far-famed civilization and the seat and
stronghold of the most powerful Church in Christendom; in the very heart
of that continent, amidst a freedom-loving, peace-pursuing, high-minded
people, the prosecutors of the second Seven Year Plan must, preferably in
the capitals of these countries, arise to establish, on an unassailable
foundation, the structural basis of the nascent institutions of their
Faith, which future promoters of the Divine Plan must, in the course of
succeeding epochs, enlarge, and thereon erect the mightiest edifices of
that Faith. Any assistance which the National Spiritual Assemblies of the
Bahá’ís of the British Isles and of Germany can, through the
instrumentality of their Publishing Committees and other agencies, extend,
any facilities which the establishment of an Office, acting as an adjunct
to the International Bahá’í Bureau in Geneva can provide, should be
promptly and fully utilized for the speedy accomplishment of the initial
tasks to be undertaken in Europe under the present Seven Year Plan.
