We have corrected the records to show that the number of declared Adherents to the Faith in Iraklion, Crete is one, and not two.... LETTER OF 10 FEBRUARY 1955 10 February 1955 Dear Bahá’í Friends: The Beloved Guardian has directed that I write you in connection with the Temple project for Germany. He is anxious to receive the latest word with regard to the purchase of the site for the Temple, hoping all the problems have now cleared up, or will soon be cleared up and ownership be vested with your body. He also feels that you should proceed with the preparation of designs for the Temple, which he understands you will arrange by means of a competition of architects. He feels you should proceed with this phase of the Temple regardless of the question of land ownership. Time is moving along rapidly, and he hopes it will not be too long before the design is chosen. In passing, there is one point to be mentioned; and that is that the Temple in Wilmette does not constitute a pattern for other Temples, nor does it represent a new type of Bahá’í architecture. Therefore it is not necessary for your architects to endeavour to follow that pattern. What should be done is to follow the Master’s instructions as to the Temple, and then create something that will be desirable and appropriate for your area.... LETTER OF 23 FEBRUARY 1955 23 February 1955 Dear Bahá’í Friends: The beloved Guardian is very closely watching the development of the Ten Year Crusade on all fronts. One of the goals of the second phase of the Ten Year Crusade is the incorporation of local and national assemblies. The Guardian is hoping that your National Assembly may take this important matter in hand, so that during the coming Bahá’í year, as many as possible of your local assemblies will become incorporated. He feels this is a very important activity, and one which you should follow up just as closely as possible. Will you please send me a report for the Guardian of any activities along this line which are underway; and if not, what can be done to set such a program in motion. It is needless for me to comment of course on the fact that another one of the major objectives of the second phase of the Ten Year Crusade is the multiplication of Bahá’í centers, and particularly the development of Bahá’í groups into assemblies. The way in which this can be best accomplished is by the Bahá’ís in the larger centers dispersing to weak areas or to entirely new centers. The Guardian sends you his loving greetings.... LETTER OF 23 FEBRUARY 1955 23 February 1955 Dear Bahá’í Friends: Please refer to copy of my letter of April 20th to Dr. Giachery, with a copy to you, with regard to specifications for Bahá’í Temples.
