He is eagerly awaiting more good news of the progress of your Six Year
Plan, and assures you all that he will ardently pray for its speedy and
complete success in the Holy Shrines.
Your Assembly’s labours are very deeply appreciated....
[From the Guardian:]
Dear and valued co-workers,
The enterprise launched by the English Bahá’í community in the opening
years of the second Bahá’í Century is of tremendous significance, and
will, if successful, mark not only the inception of a glorious chapter in
the history of the Faith in the British Isles, but will constitute a
landmark in the spiritual awakening of its people. The forces which such a
consummation will release none can estimate sufficiently at present. The
task is colossal, but the reinforcing power of Bahá’u’lláh, who is
watching over it and is ready to bless and sustain it if its prosecutors
arise to play their part, is likewise immeasurable. The recent Teaching
Conference is but the initial stage in this mighty, this collective, and
indeed historic undertaking. The goal towns which have been selected
should be regarded as the chief objectives requiring the immediate and
concentrated attention of its zealous promoters. Every consideration
should be subordinated to the paramount need of establishing at any cost
and by every means possible, vigorously functioning assemblies at these
centres. No effort should be wasted, all must arise to lend their
assistance; no sacrifice is too great to ensure the completion of the
first stage of this noble enterprise. Unity, perseverance, self-sacrifice,
will guarantee its success. Obstacles may arise, set-backs will no doubt
occur, but the unconquerable spirit animating the English believers must
ultimately triumph.
Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi
