The Unfolding Destiny of the British Bahá'í Community : the Messages from the Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith to the Bahá'ís of the British Isles

The Guardian has already cabled you regarding your Six Year Teaching Plan,
and he hopes that events in the future will be more favourable to carrying
it out than they are at present. He often thinks of and prays for the
English friends during these days of ordeal they are again passing through
and he feels confident Bahá’u’lláh will strengthen their work and bless
their efforts for this Holy Cause....
[From the Guardian:]
Dear and valued co-workers,
The Six Year Plan which the national elected representatives of the
English believers have spontaneously launched is a further evidence of
their unquenchable faith and noble and unyielding determination to
prosecute energetically the teaching work in the British Isles and to
exploit to the full the notable advantages derived from the successful
celebrations of the Bahá’í Centenary in London. Attention should be
focussed in the course of the opening year of the second Bahá’í Century on
the needs and requirements of this Plan. The multiplication of Bahá’í
centres and the dissemination of Bahá’í literature should be regarded as
the chief objectives of the prosecutors of the Plan. Every sacrifice
should be made, every effort should be exerted and every avenue should be
explored to ensure the success of the Plan. The English believers stand
identified with this Plan. The immediate destinies of the entire community
depend upon it. I will pray for its success, will watch its progress and
pledge every assistance within my power for its promotion. May the Beloved
bless all those who have embarked upon it and crown their enterprise with
brilliant and total victory.
Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi
