Full harmony… as well as co-operation among the various
local assemblies and the members themselves, and particularly between each
assembly and the national body, is of the utmost importance, for upon it
depends the unity of the Cause of God, the solidarity of the friends, the full,
speedy and efficient working of the spiritual activities of His loved ones.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 5 March 1922; ‘Unfolding Destiny’; also in
‘Baha’i Administration’)
