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 Two Year Plan on which the British Bahá’í community has embarked bids
fair, as it approaches its conclusion, to eclipse, however short its
duration, the exploits of that community throughout the length and breadth
of the British Isles, in the course of the prosecution of the first
collective enterprise undertaken in British Bahá’í history. This second
historic undertaking marks the inauguration of the Mission entrusted to
this community for the purpose of diffusing the Message of Bahá’u’lláh and
of implanting its banner through successive stages, and in collaboration
with its sister communities, not only in the territories of the British
Crown in the African Continent, but throughout the dependencies of a
widely scattered Empire in the remaining continents of the globe. It may
well be regarded as a befitting prelude to the official participation of
this community in the Ten Year, world-encircling Crusade, designed to
signalise the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the birth of
Bahá’u’lláh’s Mission, involving the systematic co-operation of no less
than twelve National Assemblies throughout the Bahá’í world, and destined
to culminate in the Most Great Jubilee that will, God willing, witness the
introduction of the Faith into all the Sovereign States, the Chief
Dependencies and Islands of the entire planet.
In the conduct of this world-encompassing task, so vast in scope, so
thrilling in its possibilities, so formidable in its potentialities, the
British Bahá’í community will be called upon to play a preponderating
rôle, in conjunction with the American Bahá’í community, acting as the
Chief Custodians of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s Master Plan, and seconded by its sister
communities in the British Dominions in both hemispheres, in awakening the
peoples, races and nations comprising the British Commonwealth and Empire
to the redemptive Message of Bahá’u’lláh, and in establishing, on an
unassailable foundation, the structural basis of His World Order.
