…the House of Justice feels that it would be beneficial for
you to separate in your mind the training institute process, so intimately
connected with the promotion of large-scale expansion and consolidation, from
the many deepening classes, workshops and summer school courses that form a
fundamental part of Bahá’í community life. Their number and diversity actually
seem to be on the rise as a result of the institute process. Indeed, you will
be reassured to know that, as the believers gain confidence in their capacity
to serve through the institute process, a much richer expression of the diverse
talents of the friends is beginning to appear in the Bahá’í world—a richness
that bodes well for the future progress of the Cause.

June 2002 written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an individual
believer)
