fostering the growth of the Baha’i Community

every organized community enlisted under the banner of Bahá'u'lláh should feel it to be its first and inescapable obligation to nurture, encourage, and safeguard every minority belonging to any faith, race, class, or nation within it. 
(The Universal House of Justice, from a letter dated 22 September 1991; compilation on ‘Baha’i Elections and Defining a “Minority”’, prepared by the Research Department of the Universal House of Justice)
