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 written Mr. ... concerning Mr. ... gift to the
Cause and has expressed his profound appreciation of the suggestion made
by him to have his property registered in the name of your National
Assembly. This step, he is convinced, would be of great help to your
Assembly, in that it would assist in enabling it to obtain full legal
recognition from the authorities and thus become an effective and powerful
organ for the administration of Bahá’í affairs throughout the British
Isles. But, if your Assembly feels that such a step would be premature, he
suggests that you should have the property registered in the name of the
Palestine Branch of the American N.S.A., until such time as your own
Assembly would be in a position to acquire full legal recognition from the
British authorities, and will be entitled to hold property in Palestine.
In the meantime the American N.S.A. can issue a statement testifying that
this property is registered only temporarily in their name, and that as
soon as the incorporation is effected they will have it transferred to the
name of the National Assembly of the British Isles.
Concerning the material which your Assembly has been requested to provide
for the writing of a history of the Cause in England, the Guardian feels
the advisability of making as few references to individuals as possible.
He further suggests that emphasis be placed on two major events, the
Master’s visit to England, and the publication of Dr. Esslemont’s “New
Era” which, indeed, constitutes a real landmark in the history of the
Faith in that country.
