Referring to rectitude of
conduct, Shoghi Effendi spoke of the “justice, equity, truthfulness, honesty,
fair-mindedness, reliability, and trustworthiness” that must “distinguish every
phase of the life of the Bahá’í community.” Though applicable to all its
members, this requisite was directed principally, he underscored, to its “elected
representatives, whether local, regional, or national,” whose sense of moral
rectitude should stand in clear contrast to “the demoralizing influences which
a corruption-ridden political life so strikingly manifests”.
