This latest addition to the band of the high-ranking officers of a fast
evolving World Administrative Order, involving a further expansion of the
august institution of the Hands of the Cause of God, calls for, in view of
the recent assumption by them of their sacred responsibility as protectors
of the Faith, the appointment by these same Hands, in each continent
separately, of an additional Auxiliary Board, equal in membership to the
existing one, and charged with the specific duty of watching over the
security of the Faith, thereby complementing the function of the original
Board, whose duty will henceforth be exclusively concerned with assisting
the prosecution of the Ten-Year Plan.
At these five Intercontinental Conferences the Hands of the Cause, whether
previously or recently appointed, particularly those associated with the
Conference being held in the continent they represent, as well as members
of their Auxiliary Boards, and representatives of the Regional and
National Spiritual Assemblies primarily concerned with the opening of the
virgin territories included in the continent to which they belong and of
the islands situated in the neighborhood of that continent, as well as all
believers, wherever their residence may be, are invited to be present.
To the Kampala Conference a representative of each of the United States,
the British, the Persian, the North-East African, the Indian and the Iráqí
National Spiritual Assemblies; to the Chicago Conference a representative
of each of the United States, the Canadian, and Latin American National
Spiritual Assemblies; to the Frankfurt Conference a representative of each
of the British, the German, the Italo-Swiss and the United States National
Spiritual Assemblies; and to the Djakarta Conference a representative of
each of the United States, the Canadian, the Persian, the Indian, the
Australian and the Iráqí National Spiritual Assemblies, should be sent in
the capacity of an official participant.
Any other members of these Assemblies, as well as any of the members of
the newly established National and Regional Spiritual Assemblies, are
welcome to be present at these five successive Conferences.
THE GUARDIAN’S REPRESENTATIVES AT THE CONFERENCES
The following five Hands, who, in their capacity as members of the
International Bahá’í Council, are closely associated with the rise and
development of the institutions of the Faith at its World Center, have
been chosen to act as my special representatives at this second series of
Intercontinental Conferences: Amatu’l-Bahá, Rúhíyyih, accompanied by
Lutfu’lláh Hakím, member of the International Council, at the Kampala
Conference; Mason Remey, at the Sydney Conference; Ugo Giachery, at the
Chicago Conference; Amelia Collins, at the Frankfurt Conference; and Leroy
Ioas, at the Djakarta Conference.
