…we should not confuse the true believers with those who are
not quickened with the spirit of faith, have some ulterior motive, or are
indifferent to the reputation they have personally, and the damage they may do
to the Cause in the eyes of the public. There is all the difference in the
world between these two categories, and your Assembly must ever be watchful and
ready to take action when necessary.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi
Effendi, quoted by the Universal House of Justice in a letter dated December 9,
1991, written on its behalf to a National Spiritual Assembly)
